Some people, no matter what their profession, welcome new knowledge and are not offended by a layman knowing a little more on a topic than they do. If you don't have any other ferret knowledgeable vet in your area, you might do better by offering to supply the "nice" vet with info gleaned from the Ferret FAQ and whatever else you can come up with. You have an opportunity here that you might not want to pass up if this nice vet is willing to accept your input. Who knows, you could be instrumental in creating a new ferret vet in your area. As for your ferret... adrenal problems are not usually emergency situations so you're better off taking time to find the right vet and get the right diagnosis rather than rushing into surgery. I'm no vet though, so take the advice of an EXPERIENCED ferret vet over mine any day! * Michael F.
