Hi, gang! Lucie's recent post requesting the names of ferret vets in the Asheville/Black Mtn., NC, area was encouraging. We all need to think ahead like that -- have on hand the contact information for a ferret vet at our vacation destination, at stair-step intervals during a long journey, and a back-up for when our primary go-to is out of town. A note to old and new that there is a search tool for USA ferret vets. The site can look them up by distance from a zip code or within a chosen state. Double-check that your ferret-knowledgeable vet is on the site's list! Email the site owners if not. The only flaw in the search tool I've found is that no distinction is made between general-practice vets and surgeons. We all know to interview a potential vet for specific expertise before our ferrets visit, but I would like to read on this site "Surgeon and GP for shelter" or "GP with Deslorelins -- No adrenal/Insulinoma surgeries." Dooks to you and yours, Lori Parker Ferrets at Heart Franklin, NC http://ferretsatheart.com/ [Posted in FML 7940]
