Check the files section of the website for this list - it has an
article on ECE by Dr. Williams. Also, in the Bookmarks section there
is a link to Dr. Williams's website, and there is information on ECE
there as well. If you are not familiar with using the website, here
is the URL:

I am sorry to hear of the problem. Ece can be very dangerous,
especially to an older ferret. I hope your boy recovers quickly.
