I agree I shouldn't have called the woman a twit. I do stand by putting her name and city out there. I feel strongly if she opens a rescue, it is a matter of time before the rest of us are asked to pick up the pieces and we need to know the person were dealing with. This woman said nothing about contacting the vet if a ferret comes in sick. She specifically said ferrets don't need to see the vet unless it's an emergency and, they don't need vaccinations. She told me it was absurd I was spending so much money at the vet. I don't run to the vet with every ferret or issue that comes up. I can't possibly afford to. I have a lot of things on hand the vet has provided me with, so I can take care of things here. She has owned two ferrets for five years and point blank said this gives her enough experience to run a rescue and she didn't need ferret advice from me. I sent her ferret information emails, including about medical conditions, hairballs, kidney disease, etc. She as much as said I was overreacting. I wasn't being preachy with her. I explained I was just trying to help educate her on what can happen with ferrets, so she'll be prepared when it comes around. She was incredibly rude. I was not rude in return. I left it with the offer to answer any questions she has about ferrets or their health, but I didn't feel she was ready for running a rescue at this time. That was not ruling out future rescue work, just that she isn't ready right now. Debbie, Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue [Posted in FML 8157]
