I will jump in here and say that one of the reasons Ruth initially
reported this was that some of us were at the York Show, and the
problems for her began right after that. So far, none of us who had
ferrets at the show have seen any problems,and it has now been 2 weeks.

I was set up very near Ruth at the show, and even handled some of her
ferrets. So far, all of my kids are fine.

I agree that trying to track something like this is important, and it
is equally important not to lay blame on anyone.

I shared Ruth's post with another list I am on, because many people on
that list do not regularly read the FHL. One person immediately
replied that they have something similar going on. I believe that
person does read the FHL, so I will let them tell their story.

I also forwarded Ruth's post to my own vet.

This may be just a freak happening, or it may be something that will
start to spread. If it does start to spread, we all need to be aware
of what to look for, and also what treatments do or don't work.
