In 1994, 15 ferrets were tested for rabies in Kansas. All negative.
That's 15 more lives lost for naught. The total # ferrets tested in
Kansas is 176. If anyone else has statistics for their state please
e-mail them to me or if you have copies of stats on State PH letterhead
please mail a copy to: FFS, PO Box 186, Manhattan KS 66502. The number
tested and found negative may help in setting quarantines for our beloved
ferrets (Example: 100,000 tested/14 positive may have a positive affect on
Public Health State and/or County Officials). Don't hold your breath for
the shedding studies.
Hugs. tle
