That is devastating to hear. Ferrets are such great creatures, I feel terr=
ible for your loss. For myself the idea that I could not have them safely =
again is unthinkable. This pet store was "That Pet Place" a very large and=
well known store in Lancaster county. There were at least 20 ferrets in t=
he pen at the time we selected ours, and all Marshall ferrets.
If this is FIP that means there are an awful lot of carriers out there and =
Marshall is contaminated.
Did all your ferrets actually get sick or did some stay healthy?
