Thanks Beth. Blockages are bad news for ferrets. We're still trying
to figure out what it was. It ended up being a piece of something
wrapped around a very large hairball. It was either a piece of
plastic or a small strip of leather. And yes it was expensive.
fortunately I'm working again so it was affordable.

This little guy thinks he's a lot healthier than he really is. But
his rattling the cage at 5am this morning brings him perilously close
to becoming ear muffs or gloves.
