| ADV KILLS It's been said that only 5-10% of the ferrets are effected but it only takes 1% to cause heartbreak! |
| ADV is a fact of life. Some say it's the ferrets version of AIDS and I believe they are right. There is no cure as yet and there is no vaccine. The only way we can fight it is by TESTING and isolating the positives to minimize the spread. And also by financially supporting the fundraising for continued research. There is quite a bit of information out there that so many dedicated people have spent hours upon hours putting together. They have put together some awsome informative websites so please go to the LINKS page and check out some the ADV links. Many of these sites have information on how to contribute to the fundraising effort for the research of this deadly and heartbreaking disease. |
Remember - A healthy looking ferret can still have ADV. You don't know unless you TEST! |
| For testing information, go to American Ferret Association's web site and click on Read and Learn. This page will have Avecon's saliva test information in addition to United Vaccines information. Please note that United Vaccine no longer does ADV testing. |
| More to come! |
