Dee - I see ineptitude every day, if you want to get down to brass tacks. However to call it ineptitude simply makes people embarrassed and hostile.

My top 15 were recently published in Ferrets USA if a list is important. If you would like the full list, it goes like this -
1. Gastric ulcers
2. Helicobacter
3. ADV
4. Insulinoma
5. Adrenal disease
6. Lymphoma
7. IBD
8. Cardiomyopathy
9. ECE
10. Distemper
11. Influenza
12. Automimmune hemolytic anemia
13. Dental disease
14. Splenomegaly
15. Peripheral retinal atrophy
That's my opinion, for what it's worth.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, DVM
