Mike, As Small Mammals section leader on CompuServe, I can assure you that the files on CompuServe regarding the mystery "green diarrhea" virus are as up-to-date as I know of, particularly in regard to treatment. I haven't heard anything new regarding the identification of the virus. From what I've heard there haven't been any outbreaks as large or as severe as originally reported last spring. It seems likely that the spread of the virus is linked to the ferret show circuit, but I don't think anything has been definitely established. Perhaps Bruce Williams has further information to report, as he has been involved in the effort to identify the virus. You might also check with Ann Davis ([log in to unmask]) to see if she's heard anything new. And if you have access to CompuServe, next time post a message to me, so I can say "hi!" --------------------- Katie Fritz Small Mammals Section Leader/CompuServe Pets Forum Internet: [log in to unmask] CIS: 71257,3153 [Posted in FML issue 0619]
