Which one? ECE? ECE remains contagious for a very extended time. Although the 8 month figure is mentioned many places we gave more time when it hit here, and even ourselves did not enter any pet stores or see anyone's ferrets to be safest.

There is a small necropsy photo in the screen's upper R hand corner, but it that bothers you you canfold a bit of paper and hang it over that part.
