I was coming home yesterday from shopping (Dinky got a travel carrycase, FerretTone, FerretBites, and a new hammock) and I noticed a huge van across the street. The side of the van read "Vet Calls". So, naturally I ran over to check it out. This doctor makes vet housecalls! Her van is equipped with xray and full surgical equipment. And she does ferrets. The housecall is $25. I thought this was ingenious. Dinky has her own vet, but if she's ever (knock on wood) too sick to be moved, or the vet is not available, I can call her. If you live in the Austin, TX area, her # is (512)306-9860. She also has a web page at http://www.vetcalls.com where she states that it's sometimes helpful to treat animals in their home because the environment may be what's causing the sickness to begin with. Ferret hugs & kisses, Toni Dinky(more FerretTone please) [Posted in FML issue 2189]
