Jen,
Where are the positive things you were going to post about Petco???
Everything you've written confirms their inhumanity towards their ferrets.
Something positive would have been if Petco had taken responsibility and
(1) not allowed the ferret's foot to become as bad as you described
(2) had paid for the vet visit.
(3) been concerned about the welfare of the ferret instead of being
    concerned about freeing up cage space for younger healthy ferrets.
 
Petco is a business, they care about the dollar...NOT ABOUT THE ANIMALS.
