The IFC would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone the
2008 Ferret Symposium will be at the Holiday Inn Pittsburgh Airport
Hotel November 7 - 9, 2008.
Presenters include the following veterinarians:
Dr. Joerg Mayer, developer of the Tufts University chemotherapy
protocol, discussing chemotherapy in ferrets...
Dr. Ruth Heller discussing distemper and her vaccination titer study...
Dr. Sandra Snell presenting alternative medicine options...
Dr. Lauren Powers helping us know when to say "when" and the
importance of necropsies...
And Dr. Robert Wagner will host a break-out group on pre- and post-
natal care of ferrets for those interested in breeding.
Additional vets are being booked.
Additionally, the always entertaining Jeanne Carley, photographer
and designer of the Ferret Calendar, will present new ferret photos.
Rest assured, her presentation will evoke more AAWWWs than you knewyou had in you :-)
Barb Carlson will provide guidance on nursing sick ferrets back to health at home...
Ailigh Vanderbush will give us insight into kit and adult ferret
socialization...
David Gaines, who helped legalize ferrets in Washington, DC , will talk
about legislative issues.
Danee Devore will share her experiences with 2 recent litters,
including lots of pictures...another AAWWW factor.
Stay tuned as there are more to come.
Joel Vanderbush, the very entertaining dynamo, will be our MC this year.
He's funny, informative and is not to be missed.
As usual, there will be vendors selling all manner of ferrety items.
Money is tight right now and prices have been kept as low as
possible. Symposium rates are $185 for a 3 day pass, $90 for a
Saturday only pass and $40 for the optional Friday evening buffet
dinner with the speakers.
Rooms are $95 per night and may be shard. If you are looking for a
