Hi Everyone--
I'm having something of a problem right now and I thought I could get some
help by posting here. I *had* a couple good vets that I trusted, were good
with the ferrets, etc, but this weekend I really needed to have one of my
guys seen and they had no appointments available before Wednesday (maybe
even longer). I can appreciate that they're busy but I no longer feel safe
going to a practice where it takes more than 24 hours to be seen (maybe I'm
being picky but I don't like calling a vet with a possibly ill ferret on a
Saturday and told that not only was Saturday booked but so were Monday and
Tuesday) . Thusly, I'm in the market for a new vet. I have a 4 year old
with insulinoma and two others about the same age as her (no problems
with them yet, knock wood) so ideally I'd like to find a doctor who's had
experience with geriatric patients and their potential conditions, and
could handle any acute illnesses that could come up. I live in western
Fairfax County so a vet in the same area would be good. I'm probably just
doing some wishful thinking....I"m having a bad feeling that I'm just going
to have to deal with the congested practice I go to now but I figured it
would be worth a try anyway. If anyone has any recommends, email me
privately....it takes me forever to get through a whole FML.
Thanks,
Laura Ellis
PS: In case anyone was about to get concerned, the sick fert in question
did get seen at a vet on Saturday and is being taken care of. :-)
