You will have noticed periodic cross-posts appearing here from the FHL (the Ferret Health List). Although a few of the answers given will appear here from time to time, the only way to ask questions of some of these experts is by joining the list. If you decide to join do pay careful attention to the letters you receive; one includes easy instruction for how to get the digest format rather than individual posts. Digest numbers seem to run from 1 to 4 day (according to how Yahoo handles digests), so you can that for many folks individual posts would become cumbersome. You'll notice digest instructions popping up elsewhere once you begin to notice them. Having begun on February 17th this list is less than a month old and still having wrinkles removed, yet, already it has a number of excellent vets and other health professionals, and enjoys the wisdom of around 450 members, a small number compared to the over 3,000 on the FML but still a decent size.
