I am glad to hear that Manuel will be able to keep his family indoors now. However I would still like to touch upon some of the things discussed here. 1. High Temperatures: I do not see how high temperatures will affect the health of ferrets or any other animal. That is if that animal has had a proper transition period to get use to the higher temperatures. Please correct me if I am wrong in this thinking. If you correct me please also correct one of my sources. (Georgia Domestic Ferret Association; no date; What is a Ferret?(Can ferrets be housed outdoors? Yes, under certain conditions....... They should not be introduced to extreme temperatures (above 85 degrees and below 45 degrees) without a transition period, as it would be a shock to their system). Please also remember that in a lot of other countries the people of that country can not afford a/c and there fore do not have it. 2 They can escape and get under the hood and when you start the motor....Ouch. They would not be able to crawl through the fire-wall separating the passenger compartment from the engine compartment unless someone has modified the fire-wall. I.E. Drilled bigger than needed holes to route cable, controls, etc. This a small note: I do not leave my pets outdoors unattended in a vehicle or otherwise. I do not have to and I will not do this. I do understand the concern for his families safety. I do agree for the most part with the majority. I have not seen a public compliment to Dr. Weiss and Dr. Williams. I must appuald and pat them on the back for taking time out from family to help in medical matters with our loved ones. They deserve a lot better than than an appauld and pat on the back but it is the only thing I can give them via E-mail. Thanks, many thanks to the both of you. [Posted in FML issue 1328]
