Hi, I live in Columbus, Ohio and am looking to find someone who could potentially ferret-sit my fuzzies both in general and specifically for a week or two in December (not x-mas time). I have four fuzzies who all sleep in the same large cage. My biggest concern is that my ferrets are ECE "naive". That is to say, they have never been exposed to any ferrets with ECE or who have had ECE or who may have been exposed themselves to ECE. They all 'grew up' in British Columbia and when I left a couple of years ago, we hadn't had any cases of ECE in Vancouver and/or Canada itself (maybe Ontario, can't recall). The only people in Ohio that I know and trust to watch them are sure that my ferrets would be at risk in their households. I am not sure just how to deal with this issue but I would like to talk to other ferret owners in Columbus who might consider watching them. Anyone who has any advice about dealing with the ECE issue, I would welcome your responses as well. Also, I'm intested in hearing about which vets in Columbus and the surrounding areas are well liked and considered "good ferret vets" by the ferret community. I have the official list of 'ferret vets' but I"m looking for personal opinions/experience.
