- How many ferrets do you see a week?
- How long have you been seeing ferrets?
- Do you like working with ferrets?
- How do you keep up with advances in ferret medical care? (continuing education, online groups, conferences, etc)
- Do you perform ferret surgeries? If so, which ones?
- How many adrenal surgeries have you performed?
- What vaccines do you carry for ferrets? (should be Imrab-3 for rabies, and Purevax-D or Galaxy-D for canine distemper)
- What are your fees for checkups, vaccinations, and other procedures?
