Thank you for the info that all of you have provided me.  I have visited
Dr. Michael Dear this afternoon and was VERY pleased and impressed.  He
is actually taking Axel overnight and will do some blood tests (which the
other vet was not able to do) in the AM.

Dr. Michael Dear
 
I think he has a few offices.  We visited him at his new office in the
brand new Terra Nova area of Richmond.
 
So far I would definitely recommend Dr. Dear if anyone is looking in the
Richmond area.  If you are in Vancouver I have heard from a number of
people The Arbutus West Animal Clinic is your best bet.  According to Mia,
B.C.'s best ferret vet is :
 
Dr.Brondwin

I hope this info helps other ferret lovers in B.C..
 
Thanks again,
Nial and Melissa (and Axel , Rocky , and Princess)
