I was reading another list recently and saw something that surprised me. I wrote to the poster but she never responded to me. Someone asked whether they should bathe their ferret prior to a surgical procedure, and was given a resounding NO! I am curious if there is some reason pets shouldn't be bathed prior to surgeries?? I have always groomed and bathed mine the night before taking them in for procedures. Comments? Katharine Florida [Posted in FML 6410]
