There is a vet - Dr. Lawrenchuk who is a member of the Great Lakes Ferret Assoc. who runs the Westland Vet Hospital (313)-261-5900. She is very interested in ferrets - is highly regarded by club members (mostly in the Detroit area). I am a member in name only since I am in Battle Creek and don't really participate. She also takes in rescues and runs an ad hoc shelter. I would definetely give her a try. If she is too far away for regular care I would certainly keep her in mind if you have anything serious going on. If you want info on GLFA try the Pres Micki Wingate at (313) 587-3959. She is a pretty big breeder, other than that I don't know much about her except that she was instrumental in getting the laws changed here in Michigan. The current hot item is trying to get enough money to hire a lawyer to challenge the bite and kill law. Stay in touch Mary [Posted in FML issue 1566]
