Sno was in to see Dr. Allene today.  At first she thought it was her
kidneys and has sent off labs.  We should get the results tomorrow.
Sno is going in tomorrow for a recheck on her dehydration.  There's a
possibility of IV rehydration.  Right now I'm giving fluids and meds
around the clock.  While in the vet's Sno had a "greeny" poop and
Helicobacter is now strongly suspected.  She's still very alert and
playful, but I know they can go downhill extremely fast.  Sno's our
oldest at 7 years old, has never had a surgery, and never been sick but
for two URI's caught from us.  She's our alpha ferret and attacked the
vet's HUGE cat!!  We got her from a pet shop at nine months old.  She
was a biter and no one wanted her.  She has become our little Albino
miracle because the pet store and all the animals, including the owners
personal pets burned to the ground two weeks later.  We feel so blessed
to have her in our home along with the other seven carpet sharks.
 
Thank you to all who held good thoughts and prayed for Sno.  I'll keep
you updated on her progress.
