I know that there are people here who are handicapped or have handicapped family members. It's not a surprise since ferrets are smaller and they help some people who are dealing with imposed limitations, just think of Sean and Rocky, or Frances and Gyno, or Lucy Gwinn and her ferrets. Enclosed is a link which goes to a sequence from Wipeout with our friend, and our ferrets' friend, especially our shy Telemna. Steve's heard privately that seeing this has brightened the day of some people with mobility handicaps, and the parent of one child wrote a message to the blog about how it let her child feel better abut her own awkwardness to see a professional athlete happily encounter things she couldn't do (and with Colleen's high center of gravity that was pretty well ensured). http://tingilinde.typepad.com/starstuff/2008/08/colleen-on-wipe.html Sukie (not a vet) Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/ http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ http://www.trifl.org/index.shtml http://homepage.mac.com/sukie/sukiesferretlinks.html [Posted in FML 6076]
