I must be on a roll (third post today). As we all know - we have the privilege of having some very generous and knowledgeable vets participate on the FML. I know that many of us have benefitted a great deal by having them donate time for us. With so little known about ferret medicine - it's a relief to have some place to go when our own vets are stumped. Based on some recent conversation, I have been doing some thinking. Is there some way we can make life easier for our vets here on the list? They are all extremely busy people - and do their very best to answer questions in a timely manner, but there are only so many hours in a day. The volume of mail on the FML is fairly large - as we all know and enjoy!! I'm sure, though - that some (most?!) days it would be nice if the vets could easily parse the questions out, and save the rest of the FML for reading in their spare (cough) time. I've considered a couple of options, and would like to know what you all think (vets especially!). 1. Have the list distributed in two parts: FML and FML-Medical This would mean: a) an additional list be created or b) more work for the moderator 2. Have a standard for "subject" headings so that searching on a keyword would be easier. Something like "Subject: MEDICAL". (I realize this would take a bit of time to implement - especially with new members coming on board frequently). Any other (better) suggestions? I know this requires some effort on our part - but in light of the fact that we're getting FREE, INVALUABLE medical advice - we surely can't complain. I just think we need to do all we can to simplify this process for the FML vets. They've been LIFE SAVERS and we don't want to risk losing them based on volume. Thanks and dook, Cheryl and the Wrecking Crew [Moderator's note: I can't speak for the vets, but I hope they enjoy the rest of the FML as well. Any veterinarians care to comment?
