Hi Last week we found a ferret that's been on the run, probably for a week or so, she's recovering ok. What's puzzling me is trying to decide her age, she doesn't seem to be castrated (cant find any marks on her, but then it's been a while since I had a ferret-girl) and without that she either has been carrying babies or is a kit. She is not in heat at the moment. Her teeths are really bad, the upper fangs are gone and several of the small teeths that either indicates that she is old or really bad treated by the ex-owners. Her ears seems to have been treated for earmites with the absolute forbidden and terrible medicine Orterna which makes ferrets loose parts of the ears. The fur is in good condition, no grey hairs which I noticed on several older ( age 5 or more) ferrets. Any tips or ideas on how to decide the age are welcome. Regards Helen [Posted in FML issue 2405]
