Hi Everyone,
Ok I know this is an odd request but please bear with me.  Most of you
that know me know the animal lover that I am and I feel that we are all
God's creatures even the furry ones :-).  My husband always tells me that
I can't expect help if I don't ask and if I am not open for help so I am
coming out to ask for help now.....If you can please pass this along as
I have seen so much good come from mass prayer and healing work.
 
Bless you all...
Love & angel hugs
Debbie
 
Our little ferret Caleb was bit on the ear this past week by his little
sister during play.  This is a usual play thing for them but this time
she hit a vessel and he got a huge hematoma.  Mom was nice enough to take
him to the vet for us since I had to work and could not get off to get
him there and the vet lanced and drained it.  It was so hard for me not
to be there with him but once again I was shown to ask for help.  He is
on antibiotics for 10 days and if the hematoma comes back he will require
surgery.  I don't want to have to put such a little being through even
more trauma so we are asking for prayers and healing for this little guy.
I have been "told" to trust that it will take time for the swelling to go
down.  So I am coming to ask for any help and thank you all so much.
 
Below is the note I first posted about Caleb after his vet visit:

>Have a wonderful week
