There really is no encouraging information. Another little girl had her surgery, and she is the 2nd to have her ovary fuse to her bladder. This made the surgery more difficult, put the ferret at greater risk, and reduced the chances that the surgery will be completely successful. We still need to try and locate angora ferrets in the Seattle, & Spokane areas of Wash. state, and in the Dallas, Texas region. Could everyone in those areas who goes into a pet store, or visits/calls their vet in the next week, please mention this situation. Your action might save a sweet little life. To re-cap, baby ferrets, supposedly from Sweden, and mostly angora, were sold in the US market with only partial spays. They are going into heat, and one has already died. They entered the US between the 1st and 15th of October. None of the brokers involved with this will divulge the names of other persons, possibly out of fear of culpability, but their refusal to assist our effort is making this task even more difficult. Lynn Mcintosh will be posting about her experience in attempting to reach the owners of some of these ferrets. Everyone's help is still needed, and I want to thank everyone who has sent me encouraging messages. Georgia Wood [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2170]
