We get LOTS of requests for veterinarians experienced with adrenal surgery or just ferrets in general. We don't want to be on the hook if you're not happy, SO, we're not going to recommend. BUT...we highly cherish our ferrets so we take them here. There are several other vets in our area worth mentioning because they have had all had good reviews and positive personal experience by other people and shelters. We don't have any personal experience with anyone other than the two we use, so please do your homework and ASK QUESTIONS! I can't stress this enough. Don't be shy or intimidated. If any doctor - DVM or MD, is offended when you question his experience or credentials, then maybe his ego is bigger than his need to help your pet. If that's the case, MOVE ON! That said, hopefully you can find a vet on this list you are happy with in your area.
Do you have love and time to give but not sure about the financial commitment of caring for an older or sick ferret? Please ask us about our Foster Program. Ever wondered what it might be like for a shelter mom to go through the experience of dealing with a dying ferret? Here is one shelter mom's very private thoughts put into words shortly after the death of little Cinnamon. Or, ever wonder what it might be like for a ferret sanctuary/hospice mom to care for them on a daily basis? Here's a peek into that life.
