I just wanted to put it my two cents' worth on the medical postings by Dr. Williams. I read them, too, and I feel even knowledgeable vets can learn something from his extensive pathology experience. On a normal day I receive anywhere from five to fifteen requests for ferret consults either by telephone or by email. If I post about a medical issue, this number triples. I really wish I had the time to answer all questions, but it's just not possible. I do charge a consult fee to offset some of the time away from appointments and surgery, but even so time is the rarest commodity. Fortunately, many of the questions I receive can be answered by the FML FAQ section and the Miami Ferret web page, so I refer a lot of folks to these forums. Thank you guys for making that info available! [Posted in FML issue 3200]
