Hi Mercedes, et.al; >I noticed Tobi starting to lose weight. His activity level is somewhat >lower. But that is not all the problem. Tobi started to cry at night. It >sound like a complaining heeeeemmmmmm. I also noticed that even though Tobi >is skinnier around the waist, he is not proportioned. What I mean is that >his chest area larger. The weight loss might be a summer thing, but the crying at night is strange. I would have to ask how hot is the house? Ferrets cannot live with heat in the 90's, a fan does NO good as they do not sweat... Also, what foods do you give him, what kind of litter do you use? (cedar shavings can cause respiratory diseases)... A lot of things can be going on, but the total picture has to be looked at:) When in doubt, see a ferret knowledgable vet & go over all aspects of his care:) Sincerely, Gary & the gang of fur -> Info on Timmy's healing & holistic healing= <http://www.concentric.net/~Gferret/> Pager email address for urgent messages=<[log in to unmask]>; (500 Char.
