There have been multiple drug shortages recently largely because of restructuring after two sets of major animal pharm companies combining, and at least one other selling off portions. Your vet may find a different source of amoxi easier to get right now such as Virbac Biomox. There are also shortages happening now because a long standing purchasing consortium which a number of vets used to reduce costs has fallen into bankruptcy since its controlling officials changed. In addition, one distributor is recovering from serious problems. The FHL (address in my sig lines) carries info on these things when they are learned about and they can be looked up in the archives (also in my sig lines), and you can also read about some of them in places like http://www.animalpharmnews.com/home/ and http://news.vin.com/VINNews.aspx?catId=0 Sukie (not a vet) Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/ http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://www.miamiferret.org/ http://www.ferrethealth.msu.edu/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ http://www.trifl.org/index.shtml http://homepage.mac.com/sukie/sukiesferretlinks.html all ferret topics: http://listserv.ferretmailinglist.org/archives/ferret-search.html "All hail the procrastinators for they shall rule the world tomorrow."
