Know what is sad? Of the over 70 mails this person got about the ferret only TWO which she has read as of 3 p.m. provided information on medical alternatives from helpful sites until the surgery can be done, or gave the URLs of places to get that information such as the miamiferret one and FHL on Smartgroups. Both were from IFC people. It sounds like there were more that were nasty than there were that provided ways to helpful information. Information has a better tendency to save more ferrets. -- Sukie (not a vet) Ferret Health List http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth FHL Archives http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org International Ferret Congress http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 4961]
