That (U of Penn not treating ferrets) is the strangest thing I've ever heard. (Well, close anyway). Since it seems there's a couple ferret-lovers in the University City area looking for vets, I'll post to the list. I don't know of any vets in Philly, but I highly reccommend Cherry Hill Bird and Animal Hospital in Cherry Hill, NJ, home of Drs. Dazen and Kupersmith (who writes a column for Modern Ferret), and wonderful techs and staff. Goose had his adrenal surgery done there last month and they were just great, and not far from Philly at all. The address is 1785 Springdale Rd (1 block from either Rte 70 or 73, I forget which) and the number I have is (609) 751-2122. Sorry for those to whom this doesn't apply, but as I said the question has come up a couple times. Hope this helps, good luck! --Ed Atlee [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1342]
