Subject: Re: Ferret Nail Problem

Do the nails seem to flake away? Is there any discoloration?
I had several with nails that were dry, brittle and flaked off if you
scraped at them. The nails didn't change color, but got sort
of "dull" It has only been elderly ferrets I have seen this type of
thing in.
