Hello, Some of you may remember me, I am currently a second year vet student, and I previously ran the Legion of Superferrets of Nebraska ferret shelter for 3 1/2 years. As a ferret nut and a vet student, I am doing my best to "educate" other vet students about ferrets to hopefully result in more ferret knowledgeable vets out there. Anyway, I am going to start writing a series of short articles on ferrets for Intervet, which is a veterinary student online magazine put out by the AVMA, and run by students. Because it will be vet students that will be reading the articles, I want to make sure they are as factual and informational as possible. However, time is something I don't have a whole lot of. Soo, I have put the first draft of my first article up on a web page, and if those of you who know ferrets pretty well (which on these lists is a pretty big group :-) could go and just review it and let me know if you think there is anything I should add, or if I am totally wrong about something, I would very much appreciate it. The first article is just on ferret history and a few basics, but as I go along, it will progress from ferret husbandry (next article) to ferret medical information, so vets, I would really appreciate it if you could check them out also as they become more medically related. I will post each time that I write a new one, as I would really like the feedback. Please keep in mind as you read it that I have been writing a little bit each night on it late in the evenings after studying, and that I still don't feel like I spent near enough time on it, so if it stinks, well, at least take that into consideration in your comments. :-) You can e-mail me at [log in to unmask], and there is also an e-mail link on the page. The web address is: http://incolor.inetnebr.com/ferrets/ferretarticle. The actual published article will also include references, but I am just looking for feedback on the actual article right now.
