Dear Dr. Williams: I am a ferret lover, a registered veterinary technician, and a vet school applicant. Your generous participation in the FML has impressed me with your knowledge and interest in these charming pets. My question is what career opportunities are you aware of for a future veterinarian with a strong interest in domestic ferrets? Can you offer advice to someone who wishes to practice veterinary medicine predominantly on ferrets - as companion animals or otherwise? From the disease package I saw that the armed forces has an interest in ferrets. What aspects of the animal are of such interest to the military? (Just curious.) Grateful for any assistance you have time to offer! Kari Lee [Posted in FML issue 1063]
