| Ferret Rescue of Maine A State licensed Not-For-Profit Ferret Shelter |
| 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) |
| Pine Point Animal Hospital Dr. Katie Erswell 12 Pine Point Road Scarborough, Me 04074 (207) 883-3301 Dr. Katie is our shelter vet, and takes care of all of our ferrets and other pets. She also donates her time and talents to the shelter. Dr. Katie is owned by 6 ferrets, birds, cats and a Greyhound named Goofball. |
| Fryeburg Veterinary Hospital Dr. Steve Caffrey 41 Bridgton Road Fryeburg, Me (207) 935-2244 Dr. Caffrey is a great ferret vet, but is too far away for us to use full time. He is a great surgeon, very knowledgeable about ferrets and I would highly recommend him. |
| River Road Veterinary Hospital Dr. Katherine Carter, DVM 210 River Road Orrington, Me 04474 (207) 825-2105 Website: http:/www.riverroadvet.com While we do not use this vet, they are listed on the American Ferret Assoc. list, so someone must have recommended them. Plus, they have donated to our shelter in the past. |
