Maybe someone >will THINK before taking in more and more animals.... My medical cost for >4 ferrets for 11 months has been over $1,200!!! I can top that with the medical costs I have had just in the past 3 months for just 1 ferret! ;) I will not disclose the amount, just because if I add it all up on paper I might start crying (looking at my credit card bills almost does that too me already!) :) I do not to scare off the potential ferret owners though, because my costs were from gallivanting all over the state to 4 different doctors to get several surgeries and chemotherapy for a rare type of cancer. But, I do think Katharine's point was a good one and one that all potential fuzzy owners should be aware of. All for the fuzzies, Jenna [Posted in FML issue 2884]
