Dear Sukie,
The vet is [Without having the permission of the vet to
include his name and hospital we have to remove them.
That is an FHL rule which was designed by vets, but the
given works:

here in Maryland. The initial
group of ferrets presented to him in distress were indeed fed a raw
diet, thus the thought that that this was a case of food poisoning.
However, with subsequent cases coming in with the same presentation of
symptoms, he realized that it was not food poisoning, but perhaps a
mutated ECE strain. I
apologize, I don't mean to intend to speak for him, but did feel the
need to address the food poisoning from raw meat misinformation.
