Thank you the lady who noted the ferrets at Petco. WSFA received two calls regarding the situation. As of today, the ferrets that are in the store remain in quarantine. The ferret that died is currently undergoing a necropsy by a ferret knowledgeable veterinarian. The results should be in today. I have spoken with the manager and the district manager. They will release the results of the necropsy to us when available. Both have agreed to work with WSFA in caring for the remaining ferrets. One of our members who lives in the Mt. Vernon area is monitoring the situation, and if agreed to by all parties, WSFA will foster the ferrets until they can be released to Petco for sale. I will post tomorrow with an update for all concerned, or anyone can e-mail me privately if they wish. Remember, being PROACTIVE in these cases will get you much farther, and better accomplish our mutual goal: Care, love and good homes for ferrets.
