Hello! I'm new to this list. I have a male ferrett, aprox. 8 yrs. old. (I=
"inherieted him!) He is getting so frail. I have him on food for seniors a=
nd am giving him a vitamin supplement as well. His favorite snack is p-nut =
butter, so I give it to him daily. I know the life-span of these little guy=
s is not-so-long. Is there anything I can do to make his quality of life be=
tter? Is it normal for them to get real skinny as they get older? I'm so sa=
d b/c I'm afraid he's not long for this world! His name is Arnold.

Thanks!
Paula
