Hi everybody. Wow has it been a while since I posted last! OLDER FERRET W. RESPIRATORY TROUBLE Kristine, you might want to have your vet check your older ferret for cardiomyopathy or lymphosarcoma. Both of these ailments can cause fluid buildup in the body which, in turn, can lead to wheeziness or labored breathing. For more information on either of these illnesses, send an e-mail to [log in to unmask] with the message SEND DISEASE PACKAGE FERRET in the body of the e-mail. If you need to find another, more ferret-knowledgeable vet (or a second opinion), check the STAR Ferret Resource list. You can get it by sending e-mail to the listserv address with the message SEND FERRET DATABASE in the body of the e-mail. Best wishes, Gina Hart/Sage Ferrets [Posted in FML issue 2132]
