One of the best resources for locating ferret vets is at http://www.ferretcentral.org/for-others/db-vets.html As I glanced through it, though, I noticed that one of the best, Dr. Leo Gates in San Antonio is not listed. (I know he's there, he's the vet for SAFE, but I don't have his contact info handy). Finding a GOOD FERRET vet is a very, very common question here and we could all help immensely by helping keep this list (STAR database) updated. The STAR list is normally accessed from ferretcentral.org which is one of the VERY first ferret sites that people find to learn about ferrets. There's also a shelter & club database that's accessible at the same site.
