Subject: Need advice please

I am writing about muddy once again. I wrote a couple of weeks ago
about him coughing some, but eating and drinking. He seemed to have
sore throat and wanted to know what to feed him besides his dry
food. Took Muddy to the vet, everything was fine. The vet said his
lungs sounded good and he had quit coughing by the time he saw the
vet. She did mention that he was a little overweight. He weighs
2lb 14oz. He is about 9 months old. He has now started doing
something very strange that just started today. Ever since he got
up this morning he is making this sound that sounds like he is
"hissing" the letter h. That is the only way to describe it. He
will open his mouth and make this sound that sounds like he, he he.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me here. This is new
to me. This is the first ferret I have owned and all of this is
new. I tend to "freak out" as soon as he starts doing something
strange. My husband is about to disown me. lol Please let me know
if anyone happens to know what this is. He is eating and drinking.
I did notice his feces are a little runny. Thanks for all the help
and support.
