Are there any questions I can ask my vet that would let me know

Here is a resource list. Especially from the articles by ferret vets
you can not only learn, but can develop questions about
common health problems like insulinoma, adrenal neoplasias,
cardiomyopathy, and other typical problems then compare what
the vet says to what you have learned Past posts at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list are also a great
way to come up with questions.

Last modified 2/3/02 (and always looking for more ferret-health
resources).

PLEASE, remember that I am ALWAYS seeking health websites
such as those below, so am happy to have them passed on if
you know of any I have missed.

Important note: it appears that anything that is associated in the
lists with the names "Acme" and "Howard or Anne Davis" now
link directly into a very overt porn site but a few of the website
owners have not changed those entries. As Linda Iroff explained
this sometimes happens when folks let their registration for a
name lapse; porno sites grab them up. Hopefully, those links
will get cleaned-up at all locations finally.
