HELP! All our ferrets are healthy, happy, well-fed, litter trained (mostly, anyways), and don't bite. They don't smell bad. They get along with each other. No government agency is out to get them. So, for us, like a lot of other FML subscribers, there's not a whole lot of reason, as BIG notes, to post for help on the FML. If anyone gets the wrong impression about the frequency of ferret health-related issues, perhaps they can check out mailing lists or newsgroups about dogs, cats or other pets. I think you'll find a similar ratio of health-related posts there. In the meantime I'm happy to have the FML and all the experienced ferret owners, breeders, and vets to consult when there is a problem. <-------Stan Siatkowski------<<< Stan & Terrie in Toronto with <---Toronto Archery Supply---<<< Mookie,Cecil,Psycho,Cocoa & Stash [Posted in FML issue 2138]
