To Kurt and the crew: >My question is, if Mhaire and Paddington are going to catch this bug, how >long should it be before they start exibiting symptoms. If this was ECE - they'd probably all have had it. And if you caught it, it probably isn't ECE, either. Mhaire and Paddington may also have it, but are not going to show signs due to a light infection, better cellular response to infection, or nay number of reasons. Another reason for diarrhea in one of three ferrets is soem form of gastrointestinal indiscretion. Watch for foreign material in the stool... Bruce H.
