Squiggles (whose full name is Sir Edmund Hillary and yes for the obvious reason) is a rescue. His former owners told us that he was pulled limp and not breathing from their burning house and given CPR by a fireman. They couldn't keep him in the hotel. This little guy is so wiggly and squiggly and can climb anything. He is really an amazing little guy. He gives new meaning to the words ferret proofing. Now to my question. We don't know how old Squiggles is. He is neutered and descented and weighs anywhere between 2 and 2.5 pounds depending upon the season. He is playing, eating, drinking and defecating as usual. He has no hair loss. In fact, he has yet to blow his beautiful luxurious winter coat. He did have an infected area in his gums which we (the vet and I) got cleared up. But now he seems to be urinating a lot. A little bit here (actually just a drop) and a littel bit there. Could it be a bladder infection as a side effect from the gum infection? Do ferrets even get bladder infections? If so, what is the treatment? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Lorraine [Posted in FML issue 2641]
