please help.
Thank you for the links.. I have decided to get Isis in to
see my vet first thing in the morning before I go into work. I
also get the phone numbers for vets here in Atlanta that deal
specifically with ferrets from a shelther here. My vet is
wonderful, but Isis and Plunkett are two in a small handful of
ferrets they treat, so after I talk to my vet in the morning,
I am going to give them a call as well. I wil lpost a message
tomorrow to let you guys know what I find out.

mom, please help.
Karen,
From what I have read it sounds like adrenal. I have
included the
following URL's for your reference. If I were you I would
push the
vet to see her as soon as possible. Let me know what
happens...

took her to my vet who biopsied them and told me that they
were just
fatty deposits. I was very relieved. But last night when I
was
holding her, I noticed that her rectum was swollen and
extended from
her body, it looked like Plunkett's had when we were
treating him for
a prolasped rectum, but there was no discoloration. It was
a normal
healthy pink color.. I looked closer and saw that her vulva
looked a
bit swollen. She hasn't had any fur lose, she is eating
fine and none
of the stool in the cage looks unusual. I am taking her to
the vet
the day after tomorrow when I am not going to be working,
but I am
very very worried about her.
