Hello all! I have a favor. I was working at a nursing home today in
Delhi, NY. It's somewhere between Oneonta and Binghamton out in the
mountains, for those of you who aren't familiar with it. I brought my
ferret Sneakers in to visit the elderly while I was at work. I ran into
a woman who's son has a ferret. She says they have a book about ferrets,
but it must not be a good one. They had no idea that ferrets need
vaccines! I assured her they did and suggested they get to a ferret
friendly vet. She didn't know if the local vet saw ferrets. I said she
should call and ask. Does anybody know of a well reputed ferret vet in
the area? I am hoping with FML's wide audience perhaps someone lives
in the area and knows of one. I've learned from experience that just
because a vet says they "see ferrets" doesn't mean they know anything
about them.
There were also a couple of guys in their 20's who thought a ferret
would make a great pet. I suggested of course that they go to a shelter
rather then the pet store. Always good to get shelter ferrets homes!
They were very nice guys and I spoke with them for an hour about the
responsibilities etc. I feel confident that they would be good owners.
If anyone knows of a shelter within an hour or 2, that would also be much
appreciated. If you could email me directly at [log in to unmask], I'd
appreciate that as well! Thanks a lot!
