For all thos ferret shelterers who are performing Triage services on ferrets owned & adopted by others BE VERY CAREFUL! I am not sure what the law reads in other states -- here in NH treating anyone's animal or vaccinating it without a veterinary license is ILLEGAL, yes indeed against the law. For that reason folks who call us with a ferret are encouraged to relay circumstances, symptoms etc, and we direct them to the closest appropriate vet-- with a pointer on perhaps have them check for ____ or ____. If there needs to be stabilization we instruct them on how THEY can do it best! The FML posting previously boasted and illustrated triage and treatment of others owned ferrets - a practice that can indeed ultimately close a shelter down. I recommend, wholeheartedly that you are careful in your advise and consulting and NOT openly publicize you vaccinate others pets -- unless you have a grand insurance policy and feel you can operate above the law. just another shelterer who works best within given peramiters Alicia at Ferret Wise a naturopathic and allopathic rehabilitation treatment facility for the domesticated ferret! http://www.dartmouth.edu/~crassi/index.html [Posted in FML issue 3105]
