I just got back from the vet with Teru. Clean bill of health. I asked about a bald spot above Teru's nose and the vet seemed worried that it might be roundworm (!!). He checked it with a black light and said Teru had probably just rubbed the fur off. For those of you with ferrets with mysterious bald spots, maybe you should check for roundworm. Just a suggestion. . . Harpy aka Tara Wheeler The Internet is *not* an exact science. As soon as it becomes one, we will have found something else to play with. [Posted in FML issue 1228]
