Forgive me for sounding rude, but I am a little confused. You say you
run a shelter? Don't you have a little *nest egg* set aside for when
these types of unexpected expenses arise? What would happen if let's say
3 or 4 of your shelter babies came down with adrenal and needed surgery
or treatment, are you prepared for that? We all know how expensive
ferrets can be, I am a bit surprised to read that you are a shelter and
you are not prepared for ADV testing, which can be relatively cheap
considering all the other expenses owning ferrets requires.
I would hope that if you are a shelter, you would be more prepared for
these type of incidents.
Many shelters struggle, ADV testing is necessary, I would hope that you
would be more prepared for this type of necessity.
Quite frankly, I would be a little afraid to buy anything from you if you
don't have the money to ADV test, doesn't shipping cost?
