Ah, can you tell that I am busy today.

I just noticed your comment about losing weight. Is this by measurement, or is this a
growing kit who has lengthened.

What reassures me is that you say that this ferret is improving, but there are so few
details.

Age? Weight? Change in weight (amount, over what length of time, boney or not, change
in shape and if so in what way)? Circumstances?

There are ways in which the things you mention could be benign, but other situations in
which they could add up to being concerns.

Please, give more details.
