Hi everybody, This net stuff is pretty new to me so this is my 1st time to try posting. So, if this doesn't work, someone please e-mail some tips! Concern 1) My four-year old female ferret, Halley, has a small bump which is scabbed over. At times it gets irritated and bleeds a little. Halley fights my examinations so it must be pretty tender, even when it looks as if it has healed up. It has been recurrent since August of last year but had attributed the irritation to biting by our other ferret when they got into rough play. The second ferret died in October but the spot has persisted. The vet who has examined her thinks it is a sebacious (?) cyst from a gland & that it isn't a threat to her well being & that it is seen is dogs frequently. The vet is pretty new to working with ferrets (but seems pretty knowledgable). Nonetheless, I'm still concerned. Concern 2) She also sounds slightly wheezy or as if her breathing is a little labored sometimes-most often when she is awakening. The vet reported the her chest sounded clear & her heart normal. Any insights? Also, I would like to know if anyone has information about a ferret breeder in Oklahoma (no, I don't know the locale) called "Quality". Thanks, Cyndi (& Halley-who loves to be held & snuggled!) [Posted in FML issue 1089]
