To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Matt, as has been mentioned, there are several causes for the
off-balance. At least he is trying to get around. You may want to try
some vestibular stimulation exercises to help Fry learn to balance
better. We use these when I worked with children who had problems. I
will be happy to share the exercises I have developed for ferrets if
you like. I believe they are in the FHL archives, too. Sukie?

I am happy to report that a local ferret who could not stand has been
doing these exercises and climbed up on the owner's bed the other day!
I love hearing the success stories.
