Well I did the same thing for my Ferret Bob a coupel of years ago and
when I turned in a coupel of claims they would not cover it until the
final outcome, which ended up being Insulinoima. NOT COVERED BECAUSE
IT IS A TYPE OF CANCER. As you know a majority of the illnesses
ferrets get are cancer. They would not cover any of the tests prior
to or anything. Good Luck
