tomorrow,but need advice tonight,please...anyone!! She lives in Texas &
put off his shots<per Vet> as he had a blockage,prior...

Symptoms:

chin.<red,lotsa red>...started with the eyes....yesterday,today it seems
to have invaded his lil body!

Plus,she is in the process of receiving another ferret,thru a
breeder.....Isn't it a disease that STAYS around even after the ferret
is "put to sleep" Gawd,this really hurts! Please tell me all you can
about this disease in ferrets.Sounds nothing like it to me BUT I have
never read up on it.....Just know what I've heard! HELP!!! Options?
