ferrets:

quality vaccines available to insure maximum protection and minimal
post-vaccinal pain.

are state of the art, using recombinant DNA technology in a non-adjuvanted
carrier - proven to be the safest available.

- Cytology - tumors,
ears, skin

testing, usually with results in 3-5 days.
Laser Surgery
-
Seals nerve endings! Lasers cut tissue with a beam of light, which seals the nerve
endings so there is very little pain when they wake up.
-
Seals blood vessels!
Lasers also seal
blood vessels as they cut so there is usually no need for
bandaging after surgery.
-
Seals lymphatic vessels!
Lasers seal the
lymph vessels in the skin, which nearly eliminates any swelling
after surgery.
-
A “no touch” delivery system!
Lasers cut
without touching which eliminates much of the trauma associated
with standard techniques.
-
More precise!
Lasers allow the
surgeon to be able to perform surgery with more precision.
-
Faster recovery!
The usage of the laser for surgery will speed up the recovery of
almost any surgical procedure.
