To FMLers in the Greater Rochester, NY Area: If anyone out there lives in the Rochester, NY area and is thinking about having a young ferret descented, PLEASE contact me first - there is a vet here in the City who is well-known for seeing ferrets but doesn't know how to descent at all! I can quickly think of 9 ferrets who were incompletely descented by this vet and now I just heard of another botched job yesterday. I've had personal experience with this myself, so I know what I'm talking about - please save your ferret from a bad job and a second surgery and get in touch with me first.
