To those who responded to my request for post-operative effects and general information about spleen removal in our fert, Derek, a million thanks!!! It's such a wonderful experience to hear from genuinely concerned ferret lovers. What would I do without you? Thursday he goes into the vet's and I'm naturally concerned. He's such a wonderful little guy and important to his family and cagemate, Layla. Your E-mails to me unquestionably eased my concern a bit. I'll keep you posted either directly or via the FML. Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!! Al Wiebe [Posted in FML issue 2733]
