Re: ferrets in Massachusetts As far as I know, Friends of Ferrets is still working to legalize ferrets in Mass. You can reach them at P.O. Box 8613, JFK Station, Boston, MA 02114; 617- 286-3377. Also, the FACT folks in Connecticut seem to have a good knowledge of what is going on in Mass. Their # is: 203-247-1275. According to FACT, the Mass. Veterinary Assoc. is backing legalization and has recently told all Mass. vets that they are allowed to treat ferrets. However, many vets do not know anything about ferrets (yet). Since ferrets have specific health needs, I personally like taking mine to someone who knows a lot about them. I drive about an hour to Assonet Animal Hospital (Dr. Jonas). He is terrific and very knowledgeable. Their # is 508-644-2744. Assonet is on the RI border (off Rt. 24) but still in Mass. As far as I know, Dr. Walker at Rotherwood Animal Clinic in Newton still sees ferrets, and also Dr. Betsy Johnson who I think is at Concord Animal Hospital (or somewhere else in Concord). I have not met Dr. Johnson but have heard good things about her. Good luck. --Cinderella (aka Princess Ankle Biter) & Norman's mom [Posted in FML issue 0870]
