Recently, I have noticed a number of letters again on basic health stuff that everyone with a ferret should learn about up-front and which can be answered by some of the resources out there. Here are some fine places to start such searches: http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org/ http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth (Don't forget the Files section there.) http://geocities.com/sukieslist (Which needs updating, but have to learn how to do it first and have not had time.) http://www.ferret.net/medical/ http://www.trifl.org/medical.html http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://members.atlantic.net/~weah/ferrets.html http://home.att.net/~hhoefer/ http://www.lbah.com/Ferrets/ferret_diseases.htm http://www.bradleyhills.com/ and http://www.ferretdoctor.com http://miamiferret.org/fhc http://listserv.cuny.edu/archives/ferret-search.html It is always best to read up on medical things beforehand and to have some resources handy to prevent not jump fast enough or high enough when a situation requires it. Finding a ferret vet: http://www.quincyweb.net/quincy/vet.html http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc http://www.thepetproject.com/starferrets.html http://www.ferretcentral.org http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/files/FML-shelter-list.html (The FML has a more recent one, but I forget the command. ****BIG?****) [Send email to [log in to unmask] -- email should say in the body: SEND SHELTER LISTS] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/files/FerretVets.html (Not every one can access this.) For California try these: http://www.ferretnews.org/clinic.html http://www.ferretsanonymous.com/medical.html DO remember to find out what your vet does for emergency situations! You've got to be ready to jump fast for some things. [Posted in FML issue 3863]
