I posted last month about the man in Iowa who had bought an unaltered set of ferrets. He thought he could make a quick buck on them but found out that pet stores want pet quality ferrets, not breeders. Lynn Toole sent me 3 ADV tests so if he really dropped them off on me, I would be prepared. ( Thank you I needed them today ) Anyway, we put them straight in the truck and didn't let them in the house, and headed to Kansas City to get them vet checked. I just took the tests with me so we could do them at the vet office. They were ADV NEG. which of course thrilled me. Other than ear mites they have a clean bill of health. We did the distemper vaccine today, and will do another in 2 weeks. Then it's getting fixed time! She thought they were just under a year old. The man told me that the male bit so he didn't mess with them. He said he didn't like to get bit, like the rest of us do I guess. Anyway, they haven't been out of their cage for the whole 2 months that he had them because he was afraid they would kill his chins and birds. The male "talked" the whole time he explored the sun room. These babies had 3 injections and didn't even offer to bite. I was very proud of them. I know it'll come, but at least it wasn't our vet who had the first bite pleasure lol. I only have one youngster, the rest are 4 and up so I hope they'll work in. BTW, she is an albino and he is a panda, and they are both beautiful! Lois Missing 9 Hugging 17 [Posted in FML issue 4049]
