I can top that with the medical costs I have had just in the past 3 months
for just 1 ferret! ;)  I will not disclose the amount, just because if I
add it all up on paper I might start crying (looking at my credit card
bills almost does that too me already!) :)  I do not to scare off the
potential ferret owners though, because my costs were from gallivanting
all over the state to 4 different doctors to get several surgeries and
chemotherapy for a rare type of cancer.  But, I do think Katharine's point
was a good one and one that all potential fuzzy owners should be aware of.
 
All for the fuzzies,
Jenna
