To Maria De Cicco who was looking for a ferret-knowledgable vet in NY/NJ, and to all the other ferret owners in NY area: I highly recommend my two vets, Dr. Hoefer and Dr. Rosenthal, Both of them are working in the Animal Medical Center, which is exactely like someone put it: "is a REALLY, REALLY big vet. hospital right in Manhattan". Both of them know a lot about ferrets, and they also just very nice people :) (they really LOVE ferrets) The number of the hospital is (212) 838-8100 and you have to ask sor the exotic animal department. They also have free consultation on the phone every day between 3:30-4:00 pm. [Moderator's note: The AMC has great facilities and those vets are indeed *great*... just be aware that this place is not at all inexpensive! BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1770]
