A friend of mine called me yesterday and she is very worried about one her ferrets, Elwood. He has scabs all over his body and is crusty around the mouth. He also has swollen toe pads and she said they look a bit red. He also has a reddish nose. She took him to a vet in Portsmouth, NH (sorry, I don't remember who)and he really doesn't know what it is and guessed lymphoscama(sp)and put him on predisone. This is what she told me. To me is almost sounds like an allegy? Could anyone help us out?
