Thank-you, I appreciate the input. We love our vet and have taken many kinds of pets to them including lizards, dogs and cats but several comments he made just made me worry that I may have more knowledge than him and that worries me since these are our first ferrets. I can't feel any masses in his abdomen but I understand this is not unusual and this was the criteria my vet was using for level of concern.
We love them so much I will absolutley try anything to keep our babies healthy. Do you happen to know if this is an auto or hyper immune condition?
