I'd like to send out my sincere condolences to everyone who lost a loved one recently. I know your loss personnally because I too have had my most precious one cross the Rainbow Bridge on Jan. 2. My little boy Toby succumbed to the dreaded ECE and unfortunately, I wasn't informed of this problem soon enough to save him. I want to thank everyone for caring enough about Ferrets and their owners to post your knowledge on the internet. I am grateful to you, for now I do have an idea why Toby died and how to prevent the rest of my business from succumming also. Many thanks and well wishes to all, Diane [Posted in FML issue 2548]
