Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: two adrenal disease questions for survey
To: FML List <ferret-l@LISTSERV.FERRETMAILINGLIST.ORG>, fhl <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>
Normally, I do not repeat an entire message but this time I will.
The survey is for actual veterinary researchers. It is not just a casual survey.
The data is from U.S. ferrets.
Most adopted ferrets can not be used (except those who were adopted as kits or with their veterinary records) because the ferrets must not have estimated ages, please, and it does not matter who did the estimates. See the attached past message, please.
The age at onset needs to be when the veterinarian did the diagnosis, not any non-veterinarian. See the attached past message, please.
Many thanks!

So, these will be ferrets you have had since they were kits, or ones you had join your family with documentation from their kithood (transferred veterinary files).
