Lets start with my Webster Handy College Dictionary definition of "rumor"
1. popular report. 2. an unconfirmed but widely circulated story; a piece
of gossip
 
What you're doing, Sukie, is spreading unsubstatiated rumors, about
situations which you claim knowledge, but refuse to provide verification.
So, even though you're SHOUTING your knowledge to this list, it's
difficult to believe any of it.

This is NOT a "take sides" issue Sukie, this is a situation where you're
claiming knowledge, but won't reveal your sources.  How many "fatal"
complications can you provide proof of that have occurred?
 
Many, if not most, medications for non dog, cats are off label use and
that includes the majority of drugs we use on/for our ferrets.  Tell the
list that.  Fine.  But don't try to back it up with nothing but rumors.
