My vet is excellent--I would refer her to anybody. She just did adrenal surgery on my ferret, FatBoy, and he came through with flying colors and is recovering quite well. It was the difficult right adrenal near the vena cava, too. She has an excellent track record, too: she has never lost a ferret during adrenal surgery, and has done more of them than she could count. She has been the vet for my fuzzies for three years now, and I consider myself lucky to have found her. (I was in seattle before I moved here, too, and took a vet tech class at the local community college, and she was the teacher. :-) This is North Bay, though, so I dunno if you are up to driving up here--Santa Rosa area. The surgery she just did was approximately $600 (I can't remember exactly since she is letting me make payments this time) Her name is Dr. Jona Sun Jordan Coddintown Veterinary Clinic (707) 546 4646 2210 County Center Drive Santa Rosa, CA 95403 I usually post anon, but I am so tired of hiding just because I am in California. -cobalt cobalt's rule: the smallest gecko will _always_ grab the biggest cricket.
