Last week I received a copy of a new ferret book "Ferrets: Health,
Husbandry and Diseases" that has just been published in the UK.  I read
through most of the book on that day.  The book is actually aimed at
veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and students.  However I found the
book enthralling and easy to read - it covers diseases from abscesses to
zinc poisoning.  The book will be an asset to any UK ferret keeper.
 
The author is Maggie Lloyd, MA, VetMB, CertLAS, MRCVS.
ISBN 0-632-05178-7 and is published by Blackwell Science,
Osney Mead, OX2 0EL.  Tel: 01865 206086
 
Anyone wishing to find out more about the book can check out the following

The book costs GBP 24.99 + 2.50 p & p in the UK.  Members of the NFWS have
been offered a special price.
 
I have loaned my copy to the book to my vet, Julie, she will be trying to
persuade the head vet in the practice to order a copy of the book because
as far as she is concerned it is excellent.
