I agree with Joe. Fox's book is REALLY heavy reading. If you're an
average ferret lover and not medically inclined, I recommend "Ferrets,
Rabbits and Rodents - Clinical Medicine and Surgery" or as Joe mentioned,
Dr. Karen Purcell's "Essentials of Ferrets: A Guide For Practitioners" as
alternates. Both of these are a little more comprehendable to us layman.
There are links on my Adrenal/Insulinoma site for these two and others.
See the "Medical Books" page.
For the ferrets,
Mike
