I konw I said I would have nothing else to say about this, BUT.... everyone seems to be obsessed with this topic, and bothering me about it so...I am not going to defend someone I barely know..he works with my sister on a ranch. This vet does what works for him and the environment he practices in if not everyone likes it OH WELL! he isn't trying to please all of you but keep the wellfare of his patients!!I'm not going to defend him to the world, because I cannot speak for him as well as he could speak on behalf of himself. I did not say that all farmers did anything but that MANY in the area I live do..I did not generalize about ALL of anything but said many from my own personal experience. I'm really sorry that in a brief moment when I was panicky and concerned about my brother-in-law's new ferret (Jake) that I so horrified you all. I was upset and frustrated and concerned, I simply wanted so comfort and some sage advice from experienced ferret owners. My apologies that I thought that I would find it here...I think I might have had my fill of the ferret digest..its too difficult to keep up with defending myself regarding one small statement. I simply thought I'd found a place where I could find out valuable information and stories about ferrets, which could only benefit my guys. I am truly sorry that I was wrong about this.
