I found these for Kat and they will interest EVERYONE who is interested in CA legislation and reports of feral ferrets. They are from Troy Lynn who worked her tail off following up on the San Juan Island reports, http://listserv.cuny.edu/Scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9808&L=ferret-search&P=R8334 (from 8/5/98) http://listserv.cuny.edu/Scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9808&L=ferret-search&P=R14972 (from 8/11/98) When I was following up on Compendium observation I learned that then (Has it changed any?) bases followed the animal laws of where they are located AND the head vet of the base sets further policy which sometimes further imposes restrictions. Fil, sounds like insulinoma, Read these and see what you think; then get them to your vet: http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html (insulinoma pdf is there and it often is a great first stop for health articles) http://www.heidihoefer.com/pages/ferrets/ferret_insulinoma.htm http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc (loads of vet articles and other helpful ones, too) http://www.petcarevabeach.com/islet.html http://www.lbah.com/Ferrets/insulinoma.htm http://www.ferretcentral.org (Something all ferret people should read.) Check out the critical references in http://www.ferretcongress.org (Very useful site; check it out thoroughly for much good work to help ferrets.) More info is the archives of the FML and FHL: http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org (pretty much always a good place to look up any health questions) http://listserv.cuny.edu/archives/ferret-search.html (a treasure trove of all sorts of info) Marty's Mom, see: http://www.afip.org/ferrets/chordoma.html [Posted in FML issue 4571]
