Cupcake was surrendered to the Washington Metro Area Ferret Outreach
<http://www.WMAFO.org> because she had been sick for two weeks. Her
owner could afford a luxury car, but not vet care. She wasn't just
sick -- she was almost dead -- literally skin and bones, couldn't even
pick up her head and was just hours from dying. She weighed only 330
grams -- that's about a half a pound. Cupcake went directly into ICU
where she spent the next five days. The vet couldn't even get blood
from her until she had been on fluids for 24 hours. After diagnostic
tests were done, Cupcake was put on a course of antibiotics and hand
fed every three hours. Cupcake began to show significant signs of
improvement after a week. Within a month, her weight had doubled. She
now weighs a whopping 770 grams and has just been adopted into her new,
forever home with her brand new friends, Daryl and Scooter. Cupcake got
a second chance partly due to S.O.S. donations, which helped to "take
the sting out of the vet bill," says one of the WMAFO shelter ops. "We
are very thankful for their assistance."
