Hi! It's been a while since I last posted - I've been short on time this semester. I just wanted to say that while I see how a muzzle could send the wrong message - I've also been toying with the idea of creating one. One of our ferrets, Snitch, really goes after strangers (both people and ferret strangers). She seems to do it because she is afraid. We hope that if we can control her viscious biting, we can put her into situations that we couldn't otherwise, and hopefully, she will learn that there isn't a reason to be so afraid & attack. We were thinking of it as more of a training tool, not the solution, or law suit prevention. I have just recieved permission to scan my ferrets and my parents pregnant dog (I am an ultrasound student) U elp show some of my narrow-minded teachers that this is a developing field with many applications. We have acquired a vetrinary US machine - and I've decided to start wit U'Aery, who's got splenomegally since I'm sure I can at least identify 1 organ. Before I get up in front of the class and make a fool of myself...what are the major differe UQ in ferret anatomy that I am likely to encounter. I am assuming that they have the same organs in the same basic places as we do. If this assumption is wrong - please let me know Um:ne of the books I own go very in detail about their anatomy - any recomendations? One last question - a while back I think I remember seeing methotrexate mentioned as UO,rt of chemotherapy. I am only familiar with the use of this drug for disolving ectopic pregnancies in humans. I would appreciate it if someone with knowledge and some tim UF:uld explain its role, since the drs (human) I have spoken with are clueless. Thanks! Andi Avery, Bailey, Bandit, Franklin, Pickles & Snitch PS - we are having bizzare server problems, so if weird garble appears in this message, ple UD>don't think its from me!
