www.advancedhelp.org Dooks to all ferret lovers. Advancedhelp.org is on line now. There is 2 reasons for making this web site. One is to index important articles and information. Another is individual people, their knowledge and experiences. For example one couple wrote to me they took their ferret that had been stepped on to a TV famous vet. The vet made a decision the ferret was fine, the couple was later upset cause they would have gladly paid the money for an ultrasound that would have found blood that hardened pressing on the lung that caused the ferret to die 8 months later. If they had read something like this they might have gone in for a follow up checkup and requested the ultrasound. So I am going to write back to these ferret owners and see if they would like to more eloquently tell their story for other ferret owners to read and have a reference that an ultrasound is an option. Everyone is welcome to write in text or html and with pictures. That way we get no one authorative answer but different ways and angles. Perhaps one persons explaination connects to one reader better than another. :-) people who are owned by ferrets can have their knowledge stored on this web site for others to read in both text and html web page format with pictures. The site isn't "pretty" yet but that is because I have been working on the content. Also if you have a web page that you would like transfered to here I can do that. I have seen some nice sites come and go that people have put a lot of effort and then for one reason or another the webpage is no longer there. Index: This is the other reason for this web site Important articles on the internet for example go to this web page and click on ferrets then go to ie. poision control and there is listed the 800 number for 24 hour animal poison hotline. Similar reasons is you know there was a web site of the formula for heartworm using ivermectin now which website is it and what sublink was it listed under... Basicly how this is benifical to the ferret community is that I am indexing all (almost) the ferret articles on the internet into one index. (web rings I'm not trying to duplicate or lists) I haven't been as diligent but in 2 weeks I have managed to get maybe half the ferret information links on this page. Everyone is welcome to write in text or html and with pictures. Just please don't say stuff like whack the ferret on the nose. (Server and real time publishing) I got permission to run this web site off my home computer that has cable modem so it should be fast enough. Space is not a problem I have 67 gigabytes of hard drive space. I run backup also so even if a failure occures the information is saved. Memory is being increased from 256 megs by adding another 128 megs of memory which should arrive in 3 days this memory on the computer is ECC error correcting memory bring the total to 384 megabytes. The nice thing about this setup is that it basicly works in real time and as soon as I type and press the save key its on the internet.
