Hi Alicia ~
I totally agree. I read somewhere most vet schools do not offer their
own courses on ferrets. Is this still true? I would not have believed
that, but am finding it may be true. In looking for medical texts on
ferrets there are only 4 or so I have found. This does not include the
routine books on fuzzies. I have the Fox text and will get the others,
but would love to see courses offered in vet schools, and would even
lobby for them.
Warmly ~
