Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] kinked whiskers
I don't know if you have any candles around, but this sounds like
what my cats whiskers looked like after he put his face too close to
a candle. I was just walking into the room when I saw him leaning
in. But, too late.
"O.K., I have a very strange question.,
I just noticed that the end of the whiskers on my ferret
are kinked and white- a thick white, I think thicker than
the regular whisker, but the curled appearance is what bothers
me. It is not just the whiskers, but also the hair above his eyes,
and some of the guard hairs- although these don't appear kinked,
just white tips- I also think the hairs with the white tips pull
out"
