This is in reply to Laurie Overton - on dying ferrets, 1/11/02. I think Judy was well justified in her comment. Most ferrets past the age of 5 are considered elderly so the risk for them to go under the knife without complications becomes much higher with age. I think that you will find that 9 out of 10 doctors would agree not to operate. This is just my personal feeling, but why would you compare a family member's situation to a ferret? - (Sorry that just really urks me) Ok I said my 2 cents about that. Laurie I hope Weeze does a great job, I will keep him in our prayers. Keep us posted on how he makes out. God bless. Lisa & her 24 paws [Posted in FML issue 3662]
