FERRET VETS IN MAINE
Ferret vets are very different from your "run-of-the-mill" dog and cat vet.
Ferret vets are uniquely trained to deal with the various illnesses of ferrets, and can recognize the symptoms of a sick ferret that other vets might not notice.
Ferrets, since they are such small animals with such high metabolisms, can not wait for a vet to "figure out" what might be wrong with a ferret.
Below is a list of ferret vets that we use and can highly recommend for you and your beloved weasels. (they're good with other critters also). |

exotic mammals – especially to improve the housing and welfare for the domestic ferret and to prohibit transportation of ferrets prior to 8 weeks of age.
