I had posted one other time but was to upset over my sick ferret to give the proper information, sorry. Since then I have read faithfully every thing posted to try and learn more about ferrets. What I don't understand are some peoples seemingly endless need to put down everyone elses methods of caring for and learning of, and questions about ferrets. Why comment on where they live? "fortworthless"? unless it is CA or HI does it matter? don't insult those trying to learn and NEVER assume you are the formost authority, it takes you out of the teaching role you seem to covet, everyone has more to learn. Reading this post saved my ferrets life! I had never heard of ECE, but I knew right away after lurking for a few weeks. Isn't that what the FML is for? I learned enough to rush him to a vet, make duck soup, what kind of anastesia to insist on, how to keep him hydrated with pedialyte, that pepto bismol was good stuff, that tylanol can couse liver damage. I did not need to know the flaming and bashing that went with the knowledge it did not help him stay alive. susan and her three. [Posted in FML issue 2396]
