I think Frank's post about being prepared for emergency evacuations is a great contribution to all who read it. I got to thinking it might be good to have a "Resources Section" that contains STCKY POSTS ONLY that are controlled by the owners and moderators. The content must be reviewed and approved before it gets posted.
One section could deal wth Medical Emergencies
1. Poisoning
2. Force Feeding your Sick ferret
3. Seizures and crashes
4. Heat Stroke
5. Choking (Sherry's heimlich)
6. Bleeding
7. Falls
8. Being stepping on
9. Electrical shock
10. Dehydration
etc...
Another section could deal with "planning & preparation"
1. Emergency vet care - what's your plan?
2. Emergency Evacuation plan
3. Emergency Training for your pets
4. Dealing with Fires (Frank??)
5. Dealing with Floods
6. Ferret Emergency Kits
7. Vacation Planning
8. Planning for pet care in the event of your death
9. Ferret Emergency food fund
One way we could handle this would be to pick a topic. Have somebody volunteer to research and write up a "straw horse" version. Distribute the version in advance, and then discuss the content and any additional ideas in the chat room. The author can chair the chat that evening. The author then updates the staw horse version which is then reviewed by the owners and moderators. final changes are made, and the owners/moserators post the item
There are probably better ways to do this, but that's jut an initial idea. Any thoughts??? All comments are welcome.
