If you find a broken link, or know of another ferret health related site that you think should be included here, then please email us with the details. Please do not rely exclusively on any veterinary advice given on any of these sites. If you’re at all concerned about your ferret’s health, then take it to see a vet immediately. Ferret Central American site with a wealth of information on keeping ferrets as pets. Particularly good on healthcare. Hosts the generally excellent ferret FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). But ignore the American oriented advice on descenting and declawing.     Ferret Deafness Deaf ferrets can't hear another ferret or human say 'ouch', so they can tend to bite too hard. Deafness isn't usually a  problem for a ferret, but it may be a problem for you. If you're having problems with a biting ferret, why not look at this site to see how you can easily test its hearing.     Ferret Health Care Good health site set up by the Miami Ferret Club. Lots of interesting articles written by ferret experts.     Ferret Health List Reviews a wide variety of informed opinions on health issues in ferrets. Members may even receive consultative advice on individual cases in a group forum from veterinarary surgeons and other ferret health experts.     PetEducation Possibly the largest and most comprehensive pet information Web site on the Internet. More than 1,500 in-depth articles written by the Drs.Foster & Smith veterinary staff, with a whole section devoted to ferrets. Deals with everything from acquiring your ferret, training and ferret behaviour, to medical emergencies such as heatstroke.     Vetgate Offers free access to a searchable catalogue of quality reviewed Internet resources in Animal Health, including information on ferrets.       VetULike Provides easy-to-access information on a wide variety of common pet healthcare issues, including advice on the general care of your ferret and common ferret health problems. All the information on this site has been independently written by practising UK vets.     White Russian White Russian was a ferret who died of Aleutian Disease on May 8th 2002.  Not much is known about Aleutian Disease Virus  (ADV) in ferrets, and so White Russian's owner set up this site to bring together the information that is available and to encourage support for  the work of the Ferret ADV Research Group at the  University of Georgia through the Aleutian Disease Research Fund. Aleutian Disease was first reported as occurring in domestic ferrets in the UK in 1990, but does not as yet appear to be as widespread a problem in the UK as in the United States. In the UK, for instance, only the Wessex Ferret Club insists that all  ferrets attending its shows must have a current negative Aleutian certificate.
