Our Bacchus is now 9 mos old, a sable-blaze hob bought from Petco (Marshall)

Here in the Seattle area, we have a ferret rescue operation.  I checked

I Am Your Ferret
I am your ferret, and I have a little something I'd
like to whisper in your ear. I know that you humans
lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children

I currently have three ferrets.  Previously I had one die, Jack Ferret,
from congenital heart failure at about one year old.  It was a Marshal

We have a 6-year old white male ferret who became sick about a month and a
half ago (almost 2 months now). He had some sort of stomach trouble. We had
him on antibiotic and medicine for his stomach and tried flagyl (which we

Finona the rescue ferret went to the vet yesterday.  She got a clean
bill of health, except for being deaf and suffering from a trauma that
has her head tilted sideways.
We got a referral to a people chiropracter who treats animals.  The
