Obscure/indirect ferret reference: Prospect of Death by Margaret Duffy, Detective Inspector Carrick having just been beaten up and in a car wreck contemplates to himeself that his rugby team "The Ferrets" will have to do without him for awhile. Author lives in Scotland, setting in England. Vet Question: The other day I took a bunch of info to the new ferret vet (I mean new as in just taking over the ferret clientile and he knows very little) and he asked me if I had ever seen any references to ferrets having ringworm. I told him that recently there was some discussion and that if I remembered right they could get it but it wasn't too common. Apparently one of the other vets in the clinic had treated the ferret with antiobiotics which it wasn't responding to. He looked at it and thought it was ringworm but the vet who left didn't have anything in her notes on it. He said the ferret was practically hairless with many large rings. He seemed receptive to info so I'm going to do more downloading. Today I found and took in Dr. Williams "Pathology of Ferrets" I found on the web since it lists LOTS of good references. Any specific comments I can pass on about ringworm? Sad stuff yesterday - hope your ferrets get better and the guy in FL fin ds his and the lost ferret comes back.
