Subject: Re: Vet referral
If you go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/files/
you will see BOTH the file that has referred vets and the SOS List
file (which also lists vets that have ferret experience).
If the ferret is not urinating you have an emergency situation on
your hands, and it is more important that you get to ANY vet who
can remove the excess urine before the ferret is lost for
emergency treatment. The you can get to more experienced one
for further treatment tomorrow.
Not urinating is an emergency situation; do not wait.
