I am shocked and dismayed to read the posts regarding Sandi's loss of Foxy. I would have thought the ferret community would be more supportive of one of their own; and by one of their own, I am referring to a ferret owner, not a vet. How would any of you feel if a vet simply put down your own ferret? To say that Sandi's reporting the disciplining measures taken against this vet to the FML was her gloating is a terrible accusation. I saw no gloating in her post; simply informing the FML of the facts. And to that poster, saying the ferret would be ashamed of its owner: really? Guilt tactics? Are we five? You don't think that ferret deserved justice? And BIG, I am sorely disappointed in your also saying that Sandi was gloating. While it's great for you all to defend this vet, there was no reason to attack Sandi. And is it so hard to believe that a vet can slip up and be tempted by the drugs he/she handles? Or that they can do something wrong? I doubt the state would have suspended this vet's license without due cause. I've been reading the FML for so many years I have lost count. I lurk mostly and wait for the ferret giving tree each holiday season. I will go back to simply reading. If you want to flame me, go ahead. I've said my piece and I won't respond any more.
