To the person who wrote asking about therapy ferrets... I have long wanted to bring my ferrets to work as therapy pets, as I work in the VA and many of the veterans have ferrets. I have not been able to get permission to do this despite the existing research, as it can't be proved that the rabies vaccine actually works. Really sad about this, as they would be wonderful pets to stimulate and comfort the patients. [Posted in FML issue 2608]
