I just finished reading a really marvelous article by Danee DeVore on Aleutian Disease in the May/June issue of Ferrets magazine, and have to recommend reading it on your own or in your vets' waiting room if your vet has a copy (even if it means staying there longer). Aleutian Disease can be a very difficult topic to understand but this is the clearest piece of work I have read on the disease and makes the information highly accessible. So, a reminder! Read that article! You will be grateful for the information it contains. -- Sukie (not a vet, and not speaking for any of the below in my private posts) Recommended health resources to help ferrets and the people who love them: Ferret Health List http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/ferrethealth FHL Archives http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ AFIP Ferret Pathology http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html Miamiferrets http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc/ International Ferret Congress Critical References http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 5227]
