Thanks much for the info...I just see this as being a major issue
with approx. a large percentage of the pet store ferrets that I would
of thought that some research would be going on to determine what
could be done to erase these problems...It is just so hard to believe
this is just so common among these guys and all we can do is try to
do surgery and hope we get it all or just relieve the symptoms. I do
appreciate your input into this and hope in the future something will
come about in the form of research or such.. Thanks again..
