I've heard of speed reading, but... :-) LOL! 20 minutes -- yeah, sure -- to just click them open on one page and move on to the next link without navigating in the page first... Seriously, the FML Archives cover about 15 of the years of the FML, the FHL Archives cover about 6 years, the AFIP site has over 20 articles, many in depth, etc. Many other things listed also lead into more. I'll get silly and send you some general things to work from as well as some highly specific things. If you would like some further resources that relate to ferrets and/or to finding medical and scientific info, and hoarding and abuse info (including some governmental abuse), I'll include some more links (not ones that are e-mail versions or extensions of some physical general publications but those exist and can be useful, too). I think VIN was in the earlier list already so not including this time, but you can search and find it and much, much more. When you find a link to an interesting article that is in a by- subscription journal some allow you to by the specific article, BTW.): http://www.ndltd.org/ http://www.vetcontact.com/en/index.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/ http://www.news-medical.net/ http://www.pnas.org/papbyrecent.shtml http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi http://www.eurekalert.org/ etc. http://www.tufts.edu/vet/cfa/hoarding/ <http://www.hsus.org/pets/issues_affecting_our_pets/behind_closed_doors_the_horrors_of_animal_hoarding.html> http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/oct02/021015a.asp http://www.pet-abuse.com/database/ http://www.issg.org/database/species/ecology.asp?si=886&fr=1&sts= http://www.animallaw.info/cases/causfd876fsupp529.htm etc. http://www.vspn.org/Library/WWWDirectory/Mammals_Small_Exotic.htm http://www.aemv.org/Documents/2006_AEMV_proceedings_10.pdf <[log in to unmask]" target="_blank">http:[log in to unmask]> http://www.vetpathology.org/cgi/content/full/43/2/97 http://dspace.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/2760/1/2003+Martel.pdf http://www.aemv.org/Documents/Ferret/Ferret'sFirstVisit_.doc etc <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=15030601&dopt=Abstract> http://www.ivis.org/newsletter/archives/jan06/jan2706ice.htm > ICE 2006 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS > Exotic Animal Medicine and Surgery > - Treatment of Urinary Obstruction in the Male Ferret > - Influence of Heredity on Multiple Endocrine Neoplasms in Ferrets > - Polymyositis in the Ferret > - Update on Oral and Subcutaneous Lymphoma Protocols for Ferrets > and other Chemotherapy Options in Exotic Animals... http://www.google.com is also useful. For instance, you may want to search on Mustela +polecat and read a lot about wild relatives from various experts on the topic who work hands on with these animals, their environs, their prey species, their preditors, etc. There! Now, you have more than enough to keep you busy for the rest of your life. Happy, Gordon?
