laura... it is possible it is an alergy...just a possibility... what do you wash her bedding in?...or other stuff she is near...it all needs to be in detergent w/o all that added junk...and NO fabric softenet...as much as we want their stuff to be soft...:)...oh!...i think there IS a fabric softener out that is free of all that other junk... i prefer to was their stuff in their ferret shampoo..it is mor expensive... (even though i do not use ALOT)..but then i am sure it is safe... next possibility is...outside pollen junk...my vet just told us to close up the house and use the a/c...the pollen index is evidently so high around here that he is having to treat way too many fur kids...dogs, cats, ferrets... all...for the allergies caused by this...so it is possibly pollen related allergy reaction... is she itching at all???... well...my 2 cents worth...:) good luck... kat === "http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/2396/index.html" RASCAL~my cinnamon...my first~*~SASSY~my lady~*~WOLFIE~my sweetest boy!!!~*~ MONKEY(SHINE)~my "blaze" wild man!!!~*~FEIVEL~my new Sterling Silver~*~ MEEJA~my new sable maniac woman!!!~*~CHASE~my new DEW lady~*~ ARMAND~my new sable gentleman~*~Remembering Marcel...how we loved him!
