Ferret From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This article is about the mammal. For other uses, see Ferret (disambiguation) Ferret Conservation status Domesticated Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Mustelidae Genus: Mustela Species: M. putorius Subspecies: M. p. furo Trinomial name Mustela putorius furo Linnaeus Synonyms Mustela furo Linnaeus, 1758 The ferret is a domesticated mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo . Ferrets are sexually dimorphic 1.5–4 pounds (0.7–2 kg) Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae weasels ) also have the word ferret in their common names, including an endangered species , the Black-footed Ferret . The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat , the Steppe Polecat , or some hybrid of the two. Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of ferret-polecat hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna, perhaps most notably in New Zealand. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.

Photo courtesy H.E.McCutchen On the Colorado Plateau changes in native mammalian diversity began to be apparent by the late 1800s and early 1900s with the arrival of the railroad and the large numbers of livestock it brought to the region. With the decline of native ungulate populations (Mackie et al.1982) during and following Anglo settlement , large native carnivores such as grizzly bears, gray wolves and mountain lions began to prey on domestic livestock. The Bureau of Biological Survey trapped huge numbers of predators, eventually extirpating the gray wolf and grizzly bear from the region (Brown 1983). An effort is now underway to reintroduce the gray wolf in a few unsettled areas.

Back in late September and early October, some of my ferret art fans noticed I didn't paint as many ferrets as usual. Have no fear, I am still Ferretstef - I actually painted a lot of ferrets during that time, and now you get to see where they all went! On September 13th, I was contacted by Valerie Michalski of the Greater Chicago Ferret Association (GCFA). She'd been put in charge of the awards for their "Greatest Ferret Show on Earth" on October 9th, and had been trying to find someone to make custom handpainted trophies; but was having little success, especially given the short time constraints. Then she found my website and fell in love with Buttercup Baby and Whadda Face , they were perfect examples of the art she wanted. Could I make trophies for her show?

University Advancement OSU College of Veterinary Medicine to host Pet Day on May 1 CORVALLIS, Ore. – Veterinary students at Oregon State University will coordinate one of the most popular annual spring events on campus this Saturday, May 1, when the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine hosts its 23rd annual Pet Day celebration. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the college will open its doors to two- and four-legged visitors for tours, demonstrations, exhibits and socialization. The event annually draws some 3,000 to 4,000 visitors, many bringing their pets (which should be on leashes). Pet Day is held at Magruder Hall, located on 30th Street just west of the Merritt Truax Indoor Center. The event is free and open to the public, although a handful of activities will have nominal fees that serve as fund-raisers for the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association and other student clubs, including a dog wash, pony rides, a fun run and a pet photo booth. “Pet Day is a fun event for the community and as we continue to expand our capacity for teaching students and treating large and small animals, it represents an excellent opportunity for the public to see the first-rate facilities we have and meet some of our outstanding people,” said Cyril Clarke, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine.

Raccoons are susceptible to infection by both canine and feline distemper. Although they both can cause acute illness and death, they are caused by two completely different viruses. Canine Distemper is a a highly contagious disease of carnivores caused by a virus that affects animals in the families Canidae, Mustelidae and Procyonidae. Canine distemper is common when raccoon populations are large. The virus is widespread and mortality in juveniles is higher than in adults. Feline distemper, also called feline panleukopenia, catplague, cat fever, feline agranulocytosis, and feline infectious enteritis, is an acute, highly infectious viral disease affecting members of the Felidae, Mustelidae and Procyonidae.

Home Services Specials Office Hours ... Forms Helpful Information Vet Store New Products Fundraisers Newsletter Snippets Helpful Information Pet Health Care Library Veterinary Partner (More Helpful Info) New Products Myths About Heartworms MYTH #1 - Heartworms only affect dogs. - FALSE! Not only dogs, but also cats, ferrets, wildlife, and rarely humans. Adult heartworms are less common in cats, but there is strong evidence that larvae (immature heartworms) can cause disease in the lungs of cats. Heartworm prevention is recommended for both dogs and cats. MYTH #2 - My pet lives indoors and won�t catch heartworms. - FALSE! Since heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes, even indoor dogs and cats are exposed to heartworms. MYTH #3 - Heartworm prevention is only needed in the summer. - FALSE! In our area, mosquitoes are present all year long. MYTH #4 - Heartworms can�t be treated. - FALSE! MYTH #5 - Heartworm prevention is expensive. - FALSE! Several brands of heartworm preventatives are available, including a six month injection. For added convenience, some products include flea medications. But basic heartworm prevention can cost less than $3 a month for small dogs to less than $6 for dogs up to 100 lbs. (And don�t believe the commercials claiming to have lower prices than vets � the prices at CRPH are often lower!) Heartworms are a serious medical risk to pets, and we recommend all dogs and cats in our area be on heartworm prevention year round for their whole life.
