Olathe Animal Hopsital in Olathe, KS specializes in exotic animals and says they see tons of Ferrets. The strange thing is that they have never spayed or neutered a Ferret before. The doctor told me that they mostly see Ferrets from Marshals or ones that have already been altered.

I'm getting 2 10 week old jills next month and I'm looking for a place to get them altered at when they come of age. I might have to drive some distance for the right place.

At least I know there is a vet nearby that will see them when they are sick or injured.

Dr. Dorothy Shipley-Preston
Ft. Smith, AR
479-782-8113

I've converted her to a believer in raw/whole prey since she's seen how well Roddy and Zoe are doing on it with no insulinoma. She recommends it to other clients. She's also seen the light regarding early spay and neuter.

Dr. Janice Raad, DVM
Charlottesville Veterinary Hospital
865 Rio East Court
Charlottesville, VA 22901

She's awesome, and a fan of Susan Brown. Since I am a new ferrent and inexperienced with sick ferrets, I can say that she has a holistic-bent (she's spreading the word about this site), does Lupron, believes in raw/whole prey, and definitely knows how to work with ferrets. Artie sits still for her in her lap a lot better than he ever did for me.
She has worked with lots of ferrets, especially adrenal.

Also, for those in central VA. Timbercreek Farm sells organic, local, raw, pet meat at $2.50/lb. See website of same name. This info, courtesy of Doc Raad.

Knoxville Tn UT exotic vet

www.vet.utk.edu/clinical/contact.php#contact

Don't try calling them for a price quote ever since its a university vet Dr. Jones is too busy for price quotes. :-( Great vet but they will try to get you to agree to the most expensive teats and treatments.

There is also Callahan animal hospital, they treat ferrets but I go to UT.

Rick L. Harmon, DVM
Oaks Veterinary Clinic
2030 27th Street
Des Moines, IA 50310
Tel: [phone]

I don't have a lot of experience with him in regards to ferrets. He is a previous breeder and seems passionate about the species. He brought up a lot of things at our first visit that you don't seem to get with other vets (ie pre-ordering Des as a preventitive and his dislike of Farm's, he also told me he could reccommend breeders when I got my next one, the man knows his ferret math!)

I DO have experience with him taking care of our waterdog (Tiger Salamander Larvae) he went above and beyond and didn't charge me a dime for it and felt horrible when our pet died. Most people consider them a toss-away pet, other area vets (uncomfortably) refused to treat him. Dr Harmon didn't treat him like that at all. He got us in right away, ran a lot of tests, and gave us a treatment to make him comfortable as we waited to see if he could battle his mysterious illness himself. iirc he also works with the Omaha Zoo with their herps. The entire stafff in his clinic is amazing and loving. I was there once and someones kitten had died, he was as attentive as I've seen others be with people; returned her kitten wrapped in a blanket in a lovely wicker basket and everything.

Dr. Angela Lennox
Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic
9330 Waldemar Rd
Indianapolis, IN 46268
Tel: [phone]
www.exoticvetclinic.com

We have had her as our vet for 2 years. The staff are always very friendly and fairly knowledgeable about ferrets. Dr. Lennox thinks raw diets are good, though feels kibble diets are fine, as well. She has done several ferret surgeries and remembers each one of my ferrets. They do try to cut the cost of any medications down.

There are a few things I do not like, which you are welcome to PM me about, but overall she is a good vet. According to their website, "She is currently Indiana’s only board certified specialist in avian medicine through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, ABVP."

Ivan Animal Hospital
Laura Ivan, DVM
21 Walters Place
House Springs, MO 63051
Phone: [phone]
ivanvet.blogspot.com/

Dr. Laura Ivan has over 15 years clinical and surgical experience in both St. Louis & Jefferson Counties.

During this time, Dr. Ivan has obtained an extensive knowledge of the treatment of dogs, cats, and other domestic pets. She has also studied and developed a subspeciality in treating exotic pets such as hamsters, lizards, ferrets, and rabbits.

This is the vet my girlfriend has been using for the dogs for 2 years, so I take my ferrets here. So far I have been fairly happy with the results. One thing I really like is if I need to take one of mine in with some sort of problem, I usually just bring all three and she'll check them all out and only charge for one exam. She seems to thoroughly enjoy seeing Jynx, Lilly, and Snickers and all the assistants/other employees there are always nice and friendly. She's also a big advocate of pet adoption, which is a plus in my book, including Furry Ferret Rescue of St. Louis.

She seems to be pretty knowledgeable about ferrets and she is very caring, definitely puts the animal first and is definitely big on the healthy diet- supports grain free kibble and raw and her office offers holistic type things like acupuncture. She'll also recommend a lifestyle change over medicine if possible.

Dr Tom is the vet I usually see. He's got some experience with ferrets, and is supportive of feeling The Gentlemen real food. Really nice guy too, and he researches ferret care when I have questions.

My ferret vet when I am in Maple Ridge, BC, with my parents:

Dr. Adrian Walton
Dewdney Animal Hospital
11965 228th st
Maple Ridge, BC
v2x 6m1
604.467.1161

www.dewdneyvet.com/

Monday to Thursday 8 am - 6 pm
Friday and Saturday 8 am - 5 pm

Dr. Walton has lots of experience dealing with ferrets, and when I first brought in Rolo for a free checkup (came with his purchase at the pet shop) he spent over half an hour with me explaining the basics of ferret care. (I picked him up without doing much research -bad!) Anyway, first question was what was I feeding - told him the pet store sold me Marshalls, he told me it straight up it was crap. Basically, he didn't recommend any brands, but he told me to go online to ferret forums and do thorough research and find out what other ferret owners feed and what works etc. It was a long time ago now, but he might have recommended this forum, I'm not sure. He warned me about ear buds and other rubbery objects as he has personally had to remove way too many foreign objects from various ferrets, made sure I knew to ferret proof and block holes smaller than his head etc.

Anyway, he is also the exotics specialist for the SPCA, so he also treats tons of reptiles and injured wildlife/exotic pets and has lots of experience with hard-to-handle cases etc. He is the one in our area that gets injured otters, raptors, pythons, turtles, raccoons etc.

Plus, he was amazing at administering Rolo's shots. So so so fast. I remember the first time especially, he distracted rolo with some cotton balls etc, steadied him, and in when the needle so fast my dad hadn't even realized it was done already.

The second time, when he had his reaction, after spending most of the day at the vet in an oxygen tank, he gave me his home phone number in case Rolo relapsed and had an emergency.

Oh PLUS, despite telling me that it had no chance of working, he wrote me a letter addressed to west jet, explaining that ferrets are not rodents, that they have very little risk of escaping an airline approved carrier, and that they have been domesticated for thousands of years and are no danger to anyone, and that once altered surgically or otherwise, they have very little musk. He even offered to be reached for comment if they had questions about it etc.
He was right unfortunately, nothing came of it.

I'm still trying to decide on a vet in Toronto to take Rolo to.

Dr. Erin Holder DVM
Florida Wild Animal Hospital
www.floridawildvethospital.com/

Dr. Holder is a proponent for feeding naturally and has been good with my ferrets. While maybe not as proactive in some things as I'd like to see (search for Wanda on our forum), for the most part this vet hospital has benefitted my ferrets when they needed medical care.
