For your information, there is an outbreak of canine parvovirus in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Ferrets are not susceptable to Parvo.
However, many FMLers have dogs.  Those people with dogs, particularly
in the Toronto area should take this as a reminder to have their dogs
vaccinated.
 
Over sixty cases have been reported to date.  Apparently some of the
dogs are dying within 12 hours of showing the symptoms.
