I was scrolling through a list of avian & exotic animal veterinarians
on a website and my eye caught this man's name because I saw "ferret".
Has anyone ever heard of Dr. Schoemaker? Too bad you have to be a
member of this organization (LafeberVet) to read the Adrenocortical
Disease in Ferrets article under Dr. Schoemaker's bio. I can't tell
if he actually LIVES (currently) in Europe or just studied there.

Here's the link to the website: http://www.lafebervet.com/bios/

And right on the homepage there's an article titled "Esophagostomy
Tube Placement in the Ferret.". I did a search on "ferret" and up
came with a ton of stuff:

(Awesome to see two doctors on the list that I know well and who have
treated my ferrets in the past: Dr. Cathy Johnson-Delaney and Dr. Adolf
Maas - both in the Seattle, WA area)
