I was given a statistic from a non-ferret vet who read that 30% of ferrets
develop insulinoma at some point in their lives. I have no information on
other diseases but that's one.
Speaking of statistics, I am looking for prevalence rates of ECE in Canada
and the States. Can anyone direct me to some current information? I've
gathered a lot of ECE info, but nothing about prevalence.
