Michigan State turns attention to ferrets

East Lansing, Mich.

-- A new resource for exotic animal enthusiasts has been launched by the University of Michigan College of Veterinary Medicine.

The Ferret Health Advancement Web site provides resources about ferret diseases and ferret health, as well as a listing of the diagnostic tests and services available for ferrets at the university. The Web site also includes a section for donating to the university in order to create an endowment for a specialist position to support ferret research.

The Web site is a collaboration between the university's College of Veterinary Medicine, the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and the Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health.
