Dooks, Thought I should post two seperate notes as the other was getting long. Sukie, I saw your post concerning Illinois being a state that will comply with the compendium. I don't have an official document on that, but there is something that should be considered. I was under the impression that Illinois was willing as a state to go by the CDC guidelines; however, Illinois did allow the different counties to judge individual cases. In other words, Peoria County is a quarentine county, but I think Tazewell County is not and they are right next to eachother. What I am getting at is Illinois' complete policy regarding ferrets should be in writing. And people should verify with their county officials that if necessary their ferrets would be quarrentined. I could be misunderstanding policies as I don't have it in writing, but I figured it is better to post and err on the side of caution seeing as too many ferrets are dying without cause or justification. My sympathy to Pat and Rocky. I cannot empathize, but I am sorry. Beverly at the Jeruseleum Zoo, I will be in Isreal March 16 to March 30. What I was curious about was zoo hours in Jeruseleum and Tel Aviv. I would have emailed you directly, but I misplaced your address. To make it ferret related, my fuzzies wish they could come with and meet all the ferrets in the Holy Land. :-) Fuzzy hugs, Donelle and the gang in Washington, IL Home is where the ferrets are [Posted in FML issue 2190]
