Yes! It's true! I recieved a notice yesterday from the vet who cares for my rescued ferrets. The ferrets are now to be treated like cats or dogs in cases of bites. Ten days quarrentine, and if the ferret is bitten by a suspected rabid animal, it will recieve 45 days quarrentine (if it has been vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian) or 180 days if not! Now my ferrets can do all the Pet Therapy that they want, without the fear of a scratch and death! I do feel sorry for all the uncalled for deaths, these guys all tested negative except one. I have a list of people looking to adopt ferrets, if the other ferret rescues in Florida, close to Sarasota need some names. You can reach me, (Jeanine) at Mutt Management, Inc. Doggie Daycare and Training Center....(941) 927-Mutt. Thanks, Jeanine's Jungle & Ferret Rescue [Posted in FML issue 2158]
