Hi all, first a VET question: I just had Boris' scent glants (he's a year old) because they seemed to be bothering him. He seems much peppier now, eating better etc. but I have noticed that his poop is much skinnier and he may be straining a little. His stitches have been out for a couple of weeks. Could something during surgery have caused this? Regular question; Foggy's progress had been on my mind, I hadn't been on FML for awhile, then I saw yesterday's post. Was there an update on Foggy while I was gone? How is he doing? (you can e-mail me direct). Harrison - Since ferrets don't always act "sick" when something is bothering them I monitor their "attitude" closely. Maybe bottle brushing a lot and hiding more means he's not feeling well, partial blockage? I don't want to worry you but you could maybe check his poop, eating etc. just in case. Someone wondered the other day if their ferret would have been happier alone (they just got another one and they aren't getting along). I got Boris for Giesela and I know how you feel. It's been almost a year and while they integrated pretty easily and get along I don't think Giesela "loves" Boris and may have been almost as happy alone. Still I think it was a good thing to do because he keeps her active and gives her more to do and can play ferret games in the dryer tube better than me:) even if she thinks he more of a pain than not. They will eventually get along and sleep together etc. just hang in there! Thanks and dooks to all Miss Mary, Boris and Giesela [Posted in FML issue 1645]
