On November 12th there will be a conference in the New York City area
(White Plains) for veterinarians wanting to learn more about the care of
ferrets.  This looks to be an outstanding conference - some of the top
DVM's in the field speaking.  The list of folks speaking amazes me...
 
Anyhow, for further info, including cost, leave a message at 800-FERRET2
( +1 800 337 7382).  If you are not in the US and can't call an 800 number,
please contact me so I can get you in touch with the proper folks.  (I
don't really have anything to do with this other than letting you folks
know, but I do have further details/contact people.)
 
Note, the target audience of this conference is veterinarians, not the
general public, and it has been AVMA approved for 8 CE credits.
