She cared for my Calvin. That listing is here: http://ferrethealth.org/vets/vets.shtml There are back posts listing a range of sites which can help find ferret vets in a number of locations world-wide. Some are no longer updated, but others stay as updated as their owners can keep them (i.e. dependent on feedback from others). Notice that the resource listed above has moved from an old addy in this post: http://ferrethealth.org/archive/SG15794 Finding shelters and clubs (again, updating is dependent partially on those keeping the lists but largely on feedback): http://www.supportourshelters.org/ http://www.ferret.org/linkmenu.shtm Ferrets Annual magazine from Bowtie (available in many pet stores and magazine counters) and I think that there is also a Critters Annual from them which also has such listings. Sometimes the web is just such a cool resource... Okay, often... Sukie (not a vet) Current FHL address: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth People can join there or can send a blank mail to the automated joining address: [log in to unmask] and then follow the directions. (The second is recommended for those having problems with Yahoogroups web settings, and afterward send a blank mail from your subscribed address to [log in to unmask] to get the digest instead of individual mails. ) Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/ http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ [Posted in FML 5472]
