Q: "Can you really be serious for a moment? No jokes or puns...what is the best way to set up and stock a hospital cage?" A: You've got to be kidding! ME? Jokes? Never! I would be ill advised to make sick jokes about ferret medical care. I think I should be shot if I needled you with such ill jokes, even if I nursed them along or doctored them to make them funnier. No jokes here! Ok, here's the low-down. Ask 100 people and you'll get 100 different answers. I'll tell you *MY* top hints, and perhaps some other FMLers can chime in with their own, and between all of us, we can just about cover the subject. This post will take a few postings so that I can meet the necessary FML length requirements, as well as to not injure so many of you by putting you to sleep, making you fall to the floor beside your computer....blood everywhere.... This series of posts will be divided into the following areas of interest: 1. Hospital Cage and Cage Furniture 2. Hospital Cage Table 3. Nursing Equipment And Care 4. Feeding 5. Wastes and Cleaning 6. The Ultimate Solution Bob C [Posted in FML issue 4400]
