Melissa, Well welcome to Bean town! You are very lucky because the best ferret DVM works in Everett, just outside of Boston. It is Dr. Karen Purcell. She has a book published on the Essentials of ferrets. Something like that, I left the book at my work. Anyways she is great and well known in the ferret community for being well accomplished. She is working at Whole Pet Health and you can reach them at 617-394-0471. They also have a wonderful and very helpful staff there. BTW, my Ben will be operated on this Friday for a right adrenal and insolinomia. She is the only one that I will let do surgeries on my fuzz buts! Lisa & her 24 paws [Posted in FML issue 3875]
