This past Tuesday 14 October, Dr. (Maj-USA) Bruce Williams, DVM, Diplomate
ACVP Noted ferret owner, Veterinarian, Pathologist and FML contributor
addressed about 70 members of the Bexar County Veterinarian Medical
Association (BCVMA) and guest veterinarians, veterinary assistants, shelter
operators and State Health Department officials.  This event was
co-sponsored by the BCVMA and SAFE (San Antonio area Ferret Enthusiasts).
From the positive responses that we have recieved over the last three days,
this was one of the best Continuing Education (CE) seminars ever held in San
Antonio.  If any of you ever have the opportunity to hear Dr. Williams speak
on ferrets medicine, go, you are in for a treat.  On a personal note; It was
a special reward to have all three Houston shelters and the Ferret lovers
club of Texas, Dallas/Ft.  Worth Chapter represented at this event.  We
Texan ferret lovers, shelter moms and dads finally got to meet and put a
face with the names and voices we've come to know over the last few years.
This was a four hour drive each way after a full day of work and back to
work Wednesday morning.  That is dedication folks!  God bless you all.  A
special Thanks to Dr.Teresa Shook, DVM, CE Chairperson; Mr. Mickey Debner
Exec.Sect.  and the Officers of the BCVMA and the Officers of SAFE for
making this event possiable.  A grateful "Thank You" to Dr. Bruce Williams
for taking time from an exhausting schedule, to fly to Texas to help our
vets learn abou ferret care.  SAFE is a chapter of the American Ferret
Association, Inc.  (AFA) dedicated to the health, safety and welfare of all
ferrets.  PROVIDE - PROMOTE - PROTECT
