“uzdravlje” ili “zivjeli” is much better than “nazdravlje” to say “cheers ” in Croatian
“nazdravlje” is used when someone sneezes sudenly in meanung “I wish your health will be well”..
but if you say “nazdravlje” instead “uzdravlje” to someone it means at any rate you wish something good to him and you will not make a great mistake..

I added you in to my bloglist too..wish you a nice week!

Hello again Dada! I am so glad you found me again

I had a look at your blog – it’s great and I’ll be adding it to my list. I know people would love to learn about ferrets in other countries!

Nazdravlje! (my feeble attempt to translate Cheers into Croatian – LOL!)

ho NONA
if the fire was close by
it could very well be a reaction
ether to fine soot ash or something toxic in the air carried
in by a wind or breeze you mighte ask them to look in their mouth at
the back of the throat for dark
or reddish spots and swelling.

YES it could, Also it would get infected from them scratching if they got some dirt or some piddle
no their feet or they bite them playing to rough.

wheee, it’s me, again *g*

My guys have had mites before, but I’ve never seen their ears swell (but, that doesn’t mean it can’t happen).

I did think of two things, though.
1) are her furkids sucklers? Both of my youngest had a tendency to suckle on another ferret’s ears. It was making the ears red and swollen, and I had to put vaseline (with vitamin e and aloe) on the ears to soothe and to also keep Yogi and Sian from doing it in the first place.
2) are there any bugs (mosquitoes, gnats, flies, fleas) where the ferrets are? If so, they may have bitten the ferrets and that’s what caused the swelling(besides excessive itching).
Or, too, could it be an allergy of some sort? I don’t know of one that could cause ears (and nothing else) to swell, though.
Hope the little guys get better soon, and thank god your friends are okay
