Expertise

I have owned ferrets for a little under 11 years. I am not a vet and cannot diagnose an illness. I am knowledgeable enough to answer most questions dealing with care of ill and elderly, general well-being, adoption process , training, safety(ferret proofing), housing requirements, engaging and mind enhancing games, grooming, vaccination, behavior, nipping,nutrition, and common symptoms of diseases. I can direct anyone to a ferret friendly veterinarian. I will, however, do my very best to answer any questions to the best of my ability. I have personally dealt with most ferret illnesses.

Experience

I have been and am currently a ferret owner for a little under 11 years. I volunteer at a ferret shelter along with a general shelter who gets ferrets in regularly. I don't work there but I observe a ferret vet on a regular basis and study everything possible. I also take in poorly kept ferrets and ferrets that have been abused to nurse them back to health so they can go to qualified homes.

Organizations
American Ferret Association

Education/Credentials
I am currently enrolled to receive my Bachelor's degree before taking my entrance exam for my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and on my way to become a veterinarian. I also teach a class at my local shelter on proper care, behavior, common illnesses and nutrition when someone comes in to adopt a ferret.

Awards and Honors
I have received quite a few "best answers" on yahoo answers.

Past/Present Clients
Although I am not a "professional" I have worked with many many ferrets and their owners. I have taught owners how to nip train their ferrets, potty train. I have pointed people in the direction of the closest ferret friendly vet when the need arises. I have taken in abused and abandoned ferrets to nurse them back to health both physically and emotionally.
