Here is the URL to a very excellent article researched and written by a non-practicing vet when I sent her photos of White Russian and Charlie to put on her Exotic Pets web site. The reason I'm posting this is that, although it's on the links page of Russian's site, I doubt many people have seen it. I believe it is a fairly easy to understand article about Aleutian disease...which give good, basic information for people who really don't know much about it. http://exoticpets.about.com/library/weekly/aa103100a.htm?once=true& As always, you can visit White Russian's web site (URL below my name) for more detailed information. Judy Please give to Aleutian Disease research - the ferret you save may be your own. http://www.geocities.com/russiansmom/ [Posted in FML issue 3869]
