Hi. I can also highly recommend the Worcester Cat Hospital and Bird Clinic, Drs. Tara Temple and Nancy O'Leary. I also work there, so I see behind the scenes and have learned to trust even more their expertise with ferrets, too! They are great, see a lot of ferrets, and lots of Tufts students do rotations at our hospital b/c we are one of the few "exotics" hospitals around. (We also see birds and reptiles.) They both really know what they're doing with ferrets, and I take all five of mine there (and two others before they passed on), and I will continue to see them even if I stop working there. Dr. Charles Innis at Westboro VCA is good with ferts, too, and of course, Dr. Karen Purcell in Everett (who gave me Dr. Innis as a referral once upon a time, too) is quite ferret-knowledgable. Dr. Tracey Ritzman at Angell Memorial in Boston is also wonderful (she took care of one of mine, who had to be admitted there for an emergency ultrasound in September); there is another great ferret vet there, too, but his name is eluding me at the moment. I was also given Dr. Yvonne Oppenheim's name when I lived closer to her Brookline office. Hope that helps! -April [Posted in FML issue 4073]
