http://www.asist.ca/ The website is being developed now. Among the assistance animals involved are 4 ferrets. Now, if only the large U.S. assistance animal groups, such as Delta Society, would realize that some people are allergic to dogs and that dogs are not the best solution for certain needs or certain people. Too many people with power are just STUCK on dogs-only in the U.S. for the recognized service animals. There is a SIMPLE SOLUTION: Just provide the service animal forms the same way that handicapped driver's parking permits are done. Have the treating physician decide when it is appropriate and then take the physician's filled out form to the same people who do the parking permits for a final form. That means that if a person's ferrets become able to detect and warn of seizures (as something like 5 ferret families in the U.S. have had done) then the physician could take that into account and send the form and a letter on medical practice letterhead. It's an effective and fair solution that would be easy to implement (which makes it most fair even for taxpayers who don't use service animals) Sukie (not a vet) 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/ http://www.ferrethealth.msu.edu/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ http://www.trifl.org/index.shtml http://homepage.mac.com/sukie/sukiesferretlinks.html all ferret topics: http://listserv.ferretmailinglist.org/archives/ferret-search.html "All hail the procrastinators for they shall rule the world tomorrow."
