I have been asked by Judith White of SOS to post this notice on FML due
to computer problems she is having momentarily.
 
As of today's date Wayward Weasels in Harpswell, ME reports they are
no longer able to accept ferret intakes.  This is due in part to the
discovery via testing on a sick paralized ferret of ADV positive
antibodies.
 
I have passed along contacts for this shelter so a populous testing
can begin.  HOWEVER there are currently some testing conflicts such As
Kristeen Lunny has had in Bend Oregon.  Therefore several test will be
required to be run on the remaining 36 ferrets in order to determine
the exposure and progression of ADV at that location.
 
SOS will be assisting Nicole at Wayward Weasels in the testing process.
Those who care to donate to the project can donate to:

Please consider testing your ferrets for ADV exposure - This is a prime
example that ADV IS in NEW ENGLAND!  If anyone tells you different they
are not being a ferrets friend!
 
If you think you don't have ADV then you have not tested!
