Hello Ferret Lovers,
 
First off, I would like to Thank all of you who sent me a message in regards
to my ferret Bebop.  And to Sukie Crandall for sending me the Medical FAQ on
Insulinoma, this really did help guys.  I plan on getting bebop to a vet
ASAP.
 
On another note: Not to get anybody mad or start trouble here, but as it is
now I'm being hit really bad on ferret disorders, my one ferret Odie has
Adrenal disease, Bebop has Insulinoma.  Bebop has already had the Adrenal
operation, Odie had a spleen operation a few years back.  My point being, if
I had, even just the slightest proof that Marshall Farms was responsible,
for the cause, I would have them in court before you could say "What" ?  The
only problem I'm having is, on the FML here, I believe there is close to
2,800 members, out of this percent is alot of people who run ferret
shelters, and "alot" of Vets, isn't it possible to put some of this
"Marshall Farms" is or could be responsible for the ferret getting Adrenal
disease in writing ?  I mean, if you really believe this "could" be the case
why not pursue it.  I don't know about you, but I'm really tired of pouring
out hundreds of dollars in Vet bills, and more on the way.
 
The understanding I'm getting is, Marshall Farms pumps out ferrets as if
they where a factory, operating on the kits way to early, then in the later
years they come down with adrenal disease, and the owner has to pay out big
bucks because Marshall Farms wants to turn a fast profit.  What I'm reading
on the FML doesn't really make any since, if even half of whats being said
is true, then something should be done.
