Silent listener here, and I have gained so much information from all of you. So, I thought I would pass this along to all the ferret owners in Colorado. I have a truly wonderful, experienced and caring vet who I have to brag about. She and her colleague have opened up their new hospital in Golden. She specializes in exotics, but they are both canine and feline as well. Her name is Kris Ahlgrim and they are located at 885 Lupine St. The name of their practice is GoldenView Veterinary Hospital. She has a 10 year old ferret name "Jack" who is doing remarkably well! She has done all his surgeries and provided him with unending love and care. She has also done adrenal surgery, spleenectomy(sp?), and pancreotomy(sp?) on my 6 year old ferret who is now the healthiest she has been in years! My ferret was on medications twice a day for well over a year and now there are no more meds!!! She looks wonderful and has more energy! This Doctor is the best!! Give them a call, they will take special care of you! Their number is 303-279-9182. Thanks for your time. Leeanne and "Fenway" [Posted in FML issue 4255]
