Greetings to all the Fuzzy lovers/slaves!  I am posting this to both the
FML and the FHL in hopes I can get some response.
 
Our ferret shelter/club (Ferret Friends of Tucson) has been working with
our vets trying to arrange for Dr. Weiss to come to Tucson and do some
cryosurgery for our adrenal, maybe insulinomic ferrets.  It just might
happen!  What we need are 15 candidates who are in need of surgery that
would like to try the cryosurgery on their ferrets.
 
Last November we took one of my ferrets about 400 miles to Santa Fe, N.M.
when Dr. Weiss was working with Dr. Treitler.  Bilbo had already had
adrenal surgery on his right adrenal which proved to be malignant.  As
you all know, this is almost impossible to do successfully with standard
surgery.  Well, when Dr. Weiss got in there, he also did the left as it
had grown in the 6 months since his first surgery.  The results?  My 5-1/2
year old Bilbo is as playful as a kit again, runs around terrorizing all
the girls, picking fights with the bigger guy, and getting into all sorts
of mischief.  He has a beautiful coat and is full of energy.  So I
personally feel the cryosurgery is well worth the time and money it takes
to get this done.
 
If any of you are interested in this cryosurgery by Dr. Weiss, could you
please e-mail me and let me know.  I will post this more than once in hopes
we can get some canditates.  I will send you the info I have so far and
we'll see if this can really happen.
 
Thanks for any responses we may get.
