%X Ferrets are becoming more and more popular pets in American homes. Nevertheless, they can cause potentially dangerous injuries, particularly in small children. Based on the case of an infant injured by a ferret, the characteristics of the wounds are described and compared with those of other animals. The potential legal implications are also discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
