Dr. Brown/Dr. Williams: Thanks for your comments re Max's inflamation. There is no swelling whatsoever, no discoloration other than the reddish inflamation and no discharge of any kind. I was kinda worried, particularly after Dr. Williams in-depth description of the various types of tumors in a FML a while back. The nastiest ones seemed to be around the prepuce. I wasn't too excited because there wasn't any type of swelling, but I'm a worry wort when it comes to my ferrets. There has been a definite improvement in the last two days. I'd have to say that it is almost back to normal with just an almost unnoticeable dull redness, so it's probably going to be a full recovery from whatever was the cause. mike [Posted in FML issue 0791]
