Siggy is a MArshall ferret, who was not properly spayed.(Marshall's de-sexes their babies by 6 weeks of age)She has come into heat twice, the first time was December, and she was brought out, and now a second time she is in season it is only february.I was hoping to have more time to save up for her surgery to have the spay corrected.We had 4 adoptions this weekend,totaling $230 and that money is going toward vaccinating everyone at a clinic this Wednesday, and replacing cracked litterpans. I also had bought clips and cotton batting already from that money, to make hammocks, which is something we do as a fundraiser. I am making Easter and St.Patrick's day hammies right now, will have pics soon. Rabies and Distemper are due, for Siggy, Sterling, and Baby, costing $19 each... (without their vaccinations, ferrets are illegal in our county) What is left will go toward the surgery.The surgery costs $185(exploratory) and anaesthesia is $50.She will have possibly one night stay, at $25. Our vet has agreed to give a 20% discount on all their procedures, thankfully, but we will not have enough for Siggy's surgery, as Payment is due upon the procedure being done.we had to schedule her for emergency surgery, before she gets aplastic anemia. I have written to Marshall Farms, asking if they will assist this cost.I have not yet heard back.She is Scheduled for the surgery on Thursday, March 1st. If you can find it in your heart to help with her bill, we'd be extremely grateful. I will be writing seperately to Judith White, of Save Our Shelters (S.O.S.) and see if they will help us, so you can donate tax-deductable.Our vet is Dr.Burton and Hayward of Animal Care Unlimited, located on Billingsly rd. their phone number is (614)766-2317 if you would like to verify her surgery.I never thought I'd have to write a letter like this.I've rescued for four years without needing to ask for donations in this manner.
