Subject: Cleaning up after mysterious deaths.

Hi, some of you may remember me. I recently lost all three of my
ferrets to what was thought to be ECE. However, the preliminary
necropsy on the last to die doesn't support that diagnoses.
(Pathology report still pending) I am in the process of bleaching
all their cage parts and accessories but I'm not sure what to do
about the blankets and hammocks (machine washable items) and the
carpets in my home.

Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation? Any tips or
suggestions for thorough cleaning of my home following this tragedy
would be greatly appreciated. Also, how long should I wait before
bringing any new ferrets into my home? Sure is quiet without them
around.

Thank you for all the support and encouragement many of you gave me
during that most difficult time. Ferret lovers really are a "special
breed"

My warmest wishes to you all....
