To Juliana Paulauskas, I think you should reread the original post on this subject. SPECIFICALLY: "some advice given on the FML by non-veterinarians is not always correct. As a veterinarian, I would HATE to see ferret owners misled by improper advice. Many of these owners must rely on INEXPERIENCED FERRET VETS who may take the advice given to the owners on the FML because they don't know what else to do. Therefore, since you are only a veterinary technician, I think you should be CAREFUL about providing your opinions and giving advice on treatment of ferrets..... Please be CAREFUL with the advice you give to pet owners..." Obviously you have had some misleading advice from some so called experienced vets and this has understandably made you angry. I hope you have found a truly experienced ferret veterinarian. What I didn't say in the original post was that ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE FML was wrong. I did say that it was a great resource and I realize that everyone, including veterinarians, can learn from owners experiences. I certainly was not saying that the advice given by non-veterinarians is useless, quite the contrary. However, as a conscientious veterinarian, I felt obligated to point out that people should be CAREFUL when providing advice. And finally, I thank Bill for his comments and opinions on this subject as well. Happy holidays. [Posted in FML issue 1418]
