Weighed Scooby at the vet's yesterday and his weight is now.... 720 grams!
 
He weighed 424 on the day we got him, 616 8 days later, 720 10 days later.
Our vet said he was very impressed with Scooby's progress and asked us to
stop by the pet store to show the manager what a baby ferret should look
like. :-)
 
Sadly, LG, our bi-lateral adrenal girl that wasn't expected to survive
after surgery (she not only survived but thrived) early last year, has a
tumor around her eye caused by lympho.  Larry took a smear of the growth
and it was filled with lymphocytes and no neutrophils.  If it had been
an infection there would have been neutrophils working hard to clean up.
sigh.  She had other lymph nodes that were enlarged on that side of her
body.  We opted for medication.  LG doesn't know she has cancer, she
still eats and acts normally.  We'll keep her comfy and love her extra.
 
Warm hugs to all. tle
