Hi All - I have a 1.5 year old neuter male, not descented, who has swollen scent glands. He is eating, playing and evacuating normally. So, I hot packed him and managed to gently squeeze out some fluid (as one would with a dog with impacted anals) - <ugh, stinky!!!> which didn't seem to cause him any stress. This morning swelling is much less, but still noticeable. Any ideas or suggestions? Since we have a dearth of ferret knowledgeable vets here, I need some advice and couldn't find anything on the net. Thanks in advance! Beverly Burge Tisch Family Zoological Gardens in Jerusalem Section Head - Hospital/Quarantine Unit Registrar [Posted in FML issue 2798]
