Thank you. From what I've just read it sounds like helicobacter is a
definite possibility.

Yesterday when I went to pick Komay up at the vet I showed the vet her
inflamed gums. The vet then gave me some Clinsol: Clindamycin
hydrochloride. Would this help if it is helicobacter? Our usual vet is
out this week and I think the vet who's filling in for her has no idea
about ferrets.

Thank you,

Sheryl
