Subject: How about Ferrets and AD (Aleutian Disease)?

Hi Everybody,

had some pc-trouble this is my 2nd try.

Last weeks over here (in Holland) people (ferret
owners) are talking at several lists about AD with
ferrets.
One ferret lately died, the owners did do some section
on it.
In the report it's most likely that the ferret did had
AD but since the other ferrets of the group turned out
to be negative the owners oppion is: it was not AD.

These people came over to my farm & shelter because
they wanted a new baby.

A few day ago I saw (a part) of the report and sent it
to my vet. He was alarmed, before he thoughed it might
be the parvo virus of an other kind but because of all
the statements...

Can anyone tell me how often AD is found at ferrets?
Is the illness the same as it is with minks?

As I understand this illness is dangerous for skunks
(which I have also) too.

All remarks, opinions, advices are welcome, since
these people will continue visiting animal and ferrets
meeting with their ferrets.

Thanks Carmen
