The province of Quebec has had a ten day in-home quarentine, with vet exams at the beginning and end of the ten days, since at least 1994, when I started owning a ferret in Quebec :) I don't remember where I first learned that information, but it was confirmed by my vet, who wanted to be sure that I knew about it (great vets, Montreal Exotic Bird and Animal Hospital, if anyone needs a vet in the Montreal area). I left Quebec nearly a year ago, so people in Quebec might want to check again w/ their vets or health departments, but I can't think why it would have changed. There is a French language web site for ferret owners in Quebec that might have the information-- I don't have the URL, but I know there's a link from Lorraine Tremblay's Mustela Canada site. Regina and the Quebecois mustelids ("Linatone, mais oui!") -- plz send all replies to [log in to unmask], regardless of where this message appears to have originated... [Posted in FML issue 2308]
