Yer friend Tara here;)
 
Last year we did 4 adrenals in 2 months.  3 in one day, Bless Dr Alice
Davis, Molalla, Oregon.  Plus Chris & Dave Mathis.  Rambo buncious had NO
symptoms just could not pee one day.  So off to Oregon we went.  I KNOW
what that means..... Figured sibce the others were close to 4, one 5 ..
may as well put them in too.... all Marshall, all adrenal.  NO SYMPTOMS.
Dr Alice is under 300.00 and at that time had 3 done for 750.00, one was
a complicated right plus a Positive biopsy for IBD.  I'm almost under the
idea that once a ferret reaches 4 just go in;(
 
As to the Oregon situations?
 
The one who had the ferrets in back of her hubbys truck?  Char Schuster &
myself did the transport giving that gal & her hubby 2 adorable, young,
exuberant ferrets.  Their sad family were being transferred to Hawaii.
Both Char & i wanted to keep those kids SO BADLY!!..  but we had
promised..  I am SO P@$$#&.  This is nothing short of animal abuse!
After writing many times, I get a mail.  "I almost contacted you first as
you brought them to me.... " Plus their other ferret came from a Shelter
in Oregon & should of gone back THERE!  They had these 2 lil girls a
year, it was all an excuse.  So this situation, STINKS!
 
The gal without the $800.00 right now for an adrenal operation?  I'm GLAD
she posted!  No need to spend that kind of money!  She is going to call
me today & is safely in my hands.... she has money, just caught short of
800.00..  sorry but it happens!!  I have turned her on to our Vet, Dr
Alice..  who is one of the BEST and very inexpensive as stated earlier.
I travel 3.5 hrs... Well worth it;))  So no more worries on that front.
He will have his operation & stay with his family;)))  If need be, i'll
help her out.. been there, and like Val said, without ClubMedFerrets i
would of been in trouble..  they were payed back but Bless you guys and
your generous Spirits!  ;))))))
 
Love & Health;)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body , but rather to skid in broadside,
throughly used up, totally worn out, and LOUDLY proclaiming...
WOW!  What a ride!
