In Chattanooga: Dr Hester of Middle Valley Animal Hospital 423-842-6758. Excellent on all levels (bed side, education, and an excellent surgeon). Prices very reasonable. Also in Chattanooga: Dr Tai Frederico. Excellent for general care. Have had mixed results with serious problems. On one hand he diagnosed a difficult heart condition no one else could. On the other hand, I have seen him stumped ... but he listens and researches right there on the spot and things were resolved for the most part. He has won awards in this area. I am told there is a good one on Ashland Terrace animal hospital in Chattanooga. If you call, they will right away know and be able to tell you who their ferret vet is. Never heard anything bad, BUT I've never met them to know first hand. There is a horrible, and I mean a horrible vet here that advertises being exotic very loudly. I won't give their name in public, but I will in private. I can tell you its a female and the last name starts with N. I'm talking serious bad ... as in you put your animal in grave danger kind of bad.
