Hi everybody
First of all I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Patricia ,I am Brazilian (so sorry if my English is not that perfect). I live in Switzerland with my husband.
We have 2 ferrets Pikku and Raja, they will make 6 and 5 years this year (an old fellows) and although they are already considered geriatric, the are still very active!
Only Raja has a problem: since Aug/02 she has been coughing. We made X-Ray, gave corticoid, homeopatic medicine and nothings stops. The vet here is not especialized in Ferrets.
Now we found out that she ate (or have been eating ) fabric and maybe that was the cause of the caugh. We put all the suspect blankets away, but she still cough. She eats, drinks, plays normally, so what could be ? someone have some experience that could help us?
We are also moving to Brazil in June and I would like to know if I should have some special care for the airplane trip and also for such a change in the enviroment .
Thank you all !
Regards,
Patricia Pikku e Raja
