>My other question is about my sable, she's female, and she is only around 7 >months old. I noticed recently her vulva has become swollen, or at least >enlarged from the size it previously was. 7 months is awfully young for adrenal and just the right age to be coming in heat for the first time. Take her to the vet for spaying if you're not planning to breed her. She's probably either not spayed at all or not spayed properly,even if you were told otherwise! If you were told she was spayed, go to where you got the ferret and bring the vet bill to get reimbursed! -Ilena Ayala [Posted in FML issue 1941]
