Subject: Strange problem
Message-ID: <40.299cfe47.2b47a9b7@cs.com>
I have a very small female-we guess her to be about 7 years old now. She is a
rescue, and had been burnt, malnurished, and had adrenal cancer. The cancer
was removed, but she almost died going under. Ferret knowledgable vets would
not put her under to clean her black stubby teeth, as they almost lost her on
the operating table. So surgery is out.
She is loosing fur again-off her tail and up her butt. She is suddenly unable
to leave me alone. She cannot stop licking me constantly, and now makes these
little noises as she constantly grooms me. She will not leave me alone or
stop following me. My guess is that this is hormonal.
Would a Lupron shot help with this sudden urge to lick me anywhere none stop?
Thank you.
