What?
 
MY ferrets got ECE from a MF kit.  I have all the evidence in the world to
support it.  Should I list it all again?  There *is* no libel here.

Excuse me... I *have* the facts to back up *my* charges.  Did you miss them
the first time around?  Kender is still *terribly* ill because of this.
 
1. I went to the vet with Kender and Justin on 3/6 for shots and checkups.
   They were healthy.  They had *no* sign of anything wrong with them.
 
2. On 3/12, I purchased a MF kit from the Petco store in Hartsdale, NY.
   The kits were a new batch.  There were no kits in the store to comingle
   with the new ones.  They were in the store for *one* hour prior to my
   getting there.
 
3. On 3/14, the kit began showing signs of ECE.  Within 90 minutes, Kender
   was showing signs.  And within 24 hours, Justin was sick too.
 
4. On 3/16 all three ferrets went to the vet.  The vet confirmed ECE,
   based on the evidence he had.
 
5. On 3/15 at 10:30 PM, Kender was taken in by the vet for two days worth
   of hospitalization and sub q fluids.
 
Kender is very ill.  I may have to rehospitalize him tomorrow.
 
Is *that* evidence enough?
