If you are looking for a good ferret vet in Los Angeles. I can strongly recommend the people at Petville Clinic 12108 Venice Blvd (310)313-9118. Back in janurary our ferret Pixel (aka Weasel Women) decided that beach sandels were a food group and ate two chunks out of one. She vomited up one, but the other stuck in her intestine forming a complete blockage. The staff at Petville did an excellant job saving the life of Pixel, showing great concern for both the well being of our ferret and for the her very stressed out and worried humans. They know their way around (and inside ferrets) and have provided support for local ferrets by offering a lecture on ferret health problems and a meeting place for a local ferret club (the club has since folded, but they are will to provide meeting space for another club if anyone wants to form one. They provide ferret vaccinations on saturdays. [Posted in FML issue 1570]
