Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for asking!  The AFA Vet Listing is a membership perk for our
member vets.  So to be on the list, they have to be an AFA member.
 
For other vet listings, you can try:
 
http://miamiferret.org/fhc/
http://ferrethealth.org/vets/
 
I don't know what the criteria is for these vets, other than being
recommended by a ferret-owning client.

They can join the AFA on-line at
http://www.ferret.org/shopping/membership.htm or print out the membership
form and mail it to us or they can contact the office directly at
1-888-FERRET-1.
 
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
