Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] stinky female smells like a male
in rut
Hello Jean,
While I am NOT a vet :) But , I would consider having a blood panel done
to see how her kidney functions are, if the vet has ruled out hormonal
scenting due to adrenal condition. Eye rings can as well as strong smell be
an indicator of kidney dysfunction-- at least in the few MF females we have
had here with the disease.
Sending good wishes that all will be well.
Alicia
