On November 12th there will be a conference in the New York City area (White Plains) for veterinarians wanting to learn more about the care of ferrets. This looks to be an outstanding conference - some of the top DVM's in the field speaking. The list of folks speaking amazes me... Anyhow, for further info, including cost, leave a message at 800-FERRET2 ( +1 800 337 7382). If you are not in the US and can't call an 800 number, please contact me so I can get you in touch with the proper folks. (I don't really have anything to do with this other than letting you folks know, but I do have further details/contact people.) Note, the target audience of this conference is veterinarians, not the general public, and it has been AVMA approved for 8 CE credits. Following is the schedule of talks: Bill Current Veterinary Care for the Domestic Ferret Time Schedule 8:30 - 9:00 Registration and Continental Breakfast 9:00 - 10:15 Routine Care of the Ferret Nick Sitinas, DVM New Rochelle Animal Hospital 10:15 - 10:30 Break 10:30 - 11:45 Ferret Surgery Thomas Kawasaki, DVM Old Bridge Veterinary Hospital 11:45 - 12:00 Break 12:00 - 12:30 Necropsy of the Ferret Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP Armed Forces Institute of Pathology 12:30 - 1:30 Lunch and Ferret Nutrition Martin Glinsky, PhD. 8 in 1 Pet Products Inc. 1:30 - 2:45 Infectious Diseases of Ferrets Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP Armed Forces Institute of Pathology 2:45 - 3:00 Break 3:00 - 4:15 Select Common Medical Problems of Ferrets Susan Brown, DVM Midwest Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital 4:15 - 4:30 Break 4:30 - 5:45 Endocrine Diseases of Ferrets Karen Rosenthal, DVM The Animal Medical Center, NYC [Posted in FML issue 1277]
