I have completed my first small step of many to come. I hope to cover miles over time. Recently I was looking for info in my state (SC) about the current status of ferrets and if the 1998 rabies compendium applied. I WAS IN SHOCK to find out that ferrets were listed as RODENTS and a common carrier of rabies! This may have been a mistake of the person editing the web page but I kindly sent a letter in that told them the truth. I got this back; ** High Priority ** Kathy, Thanks for pointing out the mis-classification of the ferret on our Rabies page. I have removed its reference from the rodent category. To help improve any negative publicity through association, ferrets are no longer mentioned on the page. I appreciate you taking the time to let us know of the error. I'm still clueless on what the status of ferrets are in my state but at least they are now not known as rodents or common rabies carriers. I'm just correction the errors as I go along! :) I have sent out other mails to various people, this is the first one I've gotten back (it took about two weeks for the Re:) Took a while but it's here. Kathy (it's a big deal to me) Sosha (I'm not assosiated with rabies on the SC HD page!) [Posted in FML issue 2201]
