anaemic (pale gums). She'll be going to the vets first thing in the mornin=

With Reno dying of ADV just a month ago, and Jasmine having pretty much
the same symptoms, I'm not very positive right now. At the moment I would
like to know whether anaemia can make ferrets feel cold? Or are there othe=

things that can do this? I mean she is not shivering or anything, but when=
I hold her, her body feels very cool. My Tara felt like that and she had
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and very probably a saddle thrombus. Jasmine
ate tonight when I hand fed her, not a huge amount but an okay amount. I
still saw her eat yesterday and she was 100% normal yesterday and was still=
okay this morning so this has come on suddenly.
