By no means is this to be interpreted as a vet-bashing post, but I have used Stoneyfield Vet Clinic and have had some very major problems . I realize that this may the exception, not the rule, and I'm not going to go into my situation here . I highly recommend Dr. Lee Hankins, Springhurst Animal Hospital , 9909 Brownsboro Road, Louisville, Ky. Phone is (502) 326-2975. He and his staff are exceptionally dedicated and well- versed in caring for ferrets. By all means, call and ask questions. I think you'll be impressed by the level of knowledge, compassion, and top-notch care they exhibit. Best to you and yours, Kym Zorn Long Wayward Weasel Ferret Rescue Louisville, KY (502) 459-9950 [Posted in FML issue 3686]
