We were amused when an extremely ferret knowledgealbe veterinarian was panicking over one of ours in this deep deep slumber. Poor doc was thinking coma and going crazy. Nothing to worry about. >From: "Ilena E. Ayala" <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: A silver lining to the ECE outbreak ? >I have been reading the posts here on the ECE outbreak at the Washington >show. Actually as far as can be told no ECE was spread at this particular show. It was because of outbreaks at other shows back East that the extreme precautions were taken. There is an lack of knowledge about ECE and its related diseases on the West coast. The controversy was mostly about there needing to be more information distributed before the show.
