To: Kim & Toby; The X-rays taken of your ferret are your property, not the hospitals. Talk to the head administrator, threaten legal action. Point out you paid for them, you're moving, and need them, they are YOUR property. I've run into this, but when I point out that they are MY property, I paid for them, I want them, I have gotten them. If they still refuse, sue them in small claims court. All you need is the invoice listing them & the fact you paid for them. Ask for the x-rays, and court costs as damages from the vet. I'd also file a complaint with the better business bureau, and local vet association as well as the state agency that oversees the hospital. This is one power and control maneuver that gets me steamed. Persevere, you are in the right. Take care, Gary Violence is not strength, Compassion is not weakness. From Camelot.
