Hi everyone, this is my first post and I have two questions I hope someone can help with. First: One of our ferrets has recently gotten what appears to our vet to be "hot spots" three times in as many weeks. These sores/scabby areas heal very quickly and do not seem to cause any pain or itching that we can tell. Our vet has suggested that they are stress-induced, however, we have been unable to determine any change that could cause this. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Second: Can anyone give us advice on resources for starting a ferret shelter? Thanks for any help, Dave, Sherry, Bubba-dog, Chat-cat, Abigail-goat, Barneygirl-duck, and our slinky gang: Pink Nose, Jilly, Bink, BamBam, and SlinkyDinkyDo. [Posted in FML issue 2803]
