Subject: If moderation takes longer during the next week, or later in hurricane season

It's hurricane season and all of us who moderate happen to be in places where our weather can at times get too bad for us to be able to be on line due to lightning.
Depending on how badly our areas are affected there may be longer than normal times between moderation.
As usual, we are here to assist but not to take the place of veterinary care. Your first course of action always must be hands on care by a veterinarian, preferably by a ferret knowledgeable veterinarian.
To help you if we have to be off-line for a while due to the storms this hurricane season:
