Well, I want to give a big thanks for all the responses to Pepe's bloody belly button. I tried Panalog(twice daily since Sat.) and it still looks red. Called a vet and they said he may need Oral antibiotics. My wheels started turning and I remembered Pepe had gotten a hold of a wet sponge (that I cleaned the tub with) and I am sure it had remnants of COMET cleanser in it. UGH...ferret paranoia. This new vet was recommended by an animal hospital that treats ferrets, but their ferret Doc is out of town. Anyone in Maryland heard of Dr. Weist- Patuxent Valley Animal hospital(laurel, MD)?? Please let me know. Last of all...Chimi and Pepe would like to mention that they have lost their most intriguing friend "Goldie" this weekend. He was always excited to see them when they would run like heck to his aquarium when they escaped into Ferret free zone. He was 11 years old, a county fair prize goldfish... lived longer than most ferrets. Thanks for the help, Stephanie, Chimi (He taught me how to fish) & Pepe (He taught me how to swim) [Posted in FML issue 2747]
