Whether ADV is rare or not... it is a dark cloud hovering over all our ferrets future. Let's try to prevent the plague..the aids of ferrets. Many of us have read Dr Williams posts, and Judy's posts, et.al. on ADV. That's a great great start. :) I'm encouraged. I listed some things everyone can do in the past. Ok well its time for one of those things I listed. A website has been set up for ALL to use and benefit from. This site is concise, and easy enough for any Joe off the street to understand about ADV. It is visually striking. On the site are pages such as a links page, a medical page for further examination, and links to the wonderful story pages/sites of Judy Gronwold's Living With ADV. Here is my plan... here is where the Wolf is on all fours begging. Please accept this gift. My plan is to have this site on ALL ferret sites. Anyone that has a site that has ferrets... anyone that knoooooows of ferret site... please, please please... take this gift. Put this site on your webpage. Please do not have it listed in a list of links. Please have it announced somewhere on your site and then linked by button, words, or something eye catching. A united effort toward public awareness and education is very important here. After being away from the ferret world for ten years... to come back to WS and deafness polluted in so many genetic pools in ferrets (even some sables with white markings), to come back to ECE.... this is all an unpleasant shock. But ADV... if unleashed... will be.... there are no words for what it would be like. So take a look at this site, a combined effort from fml'ers... later I after a study comes out towards November, I will be putting up that report plus very indepth medical information for those that are interested. This isn't a whole lot to do... and it might accomplish so muuuuuuuch. thank you ahead of time for considering this challenge. http://www.geocities.com/wolfysluv/adv-straight.html There is an adv links page on my site, and links to judys pages on my site. The main page Adv straight up..will have a link to both the links page and judys adv pages, so that if you put up the main Straight up page all will be right there.
