aNSWERS to stuff::: 1. Possible pet sitter in Chicago area is Janet , a vet tech, at Midwest Bird and Exotic Animal Hospital. I believe she is major founder of Greater Chicago Ferret Assoc,. Only have work #:1-798-344-8166. Never used her. But great credentials, and probably could have you call happy clients.is certainly knowledgable 2. Ultra sound in Chicago area for fert? Niles Animal Hospital. 1-847-647-9325. Dont know about doing surgery there. A vet that may have been there-uhh- I cant remember-- told me he removed both adrenal glands 100% of time!!!. But can have ultra-sound there. Ask at Midwest Bird and Exotic if they do, or know of anyone.. 3.Bladder infections? Ferts get them. Probably need vet for x-rays. My vet wanted them for Wolf to see if urinary tract was o.k., I believe he said. 4. For blockage,? use 1 inch of the lubricant 3 times a day. If fert is lethargic-get his butt to good vet. 5. Lots of vet questions lately. For $30. on Visa or Mastercard, have serious medical questions ready and call Dr. Weiss at 1-800-449-4460. What's $30.00? We spend $150. on a vet for nothing.just dont abuse his time when calling. 6. Dr. Karen on FAIML just wrote in to let us know that she is using Tagamet or sucralfate for upset stomach- not pepsid. And Lotrimin is better for diarrhea than kaopectate. Lisette [Posted in FML issue 2642]
