Kathleen Boaz: Although my little fuzzball just recently had one of her adrenal glands removed, she is no worse for the wear. Adrenal problems appear to be a more common problem, and talked about here often. Thank goodness too, or I wouldn't have even suspected she might have had a problem. Good vet and easy fix. Much better than the intestinal problems I've run across--ulcers and a blockage. Others: There is one thing though. Her odor has changed slightly. Well, I figure it's chemical changes and such, but was wondering how long until things level back out? I *really* miss ferret smell--they really should make a perfume...<vbg> Also, she is much smaller than my boy, but weighs more and is soooo barrel chested and muscular compared to all the ferrets I've seen. Is this common? BTW, I never thanked Pam Greene or Debbie regarding the change in Gerber's food....happened when Buster was sick and I was even more worried about him not liking his food as much until I found out why. Passed through Chicago today, and was so ticked to see how close I came to making it to a ferret show. But it wasn't in the cards. Perhaps I will get to read about it or shows in general in Modern Ferret (suggestion, hint). Danny Williams 29, Texas [Posted in FML issue 1351]
