Hi!
Thank you to all who have responded so far to my worries about McKyle's
skinny little butt. No changes yet. We could not get to the vet today
(1-1-98) because she was not open! :P But tomorrow I am calling again, and
assuming she is open, my husband will be taking the boys in for an
"emergency appointment" (I don't mind paying extra). I wish I could go
along, but there is no possible way I could get out of work tomorrow unless
I was dead.
Well, in response to my worries about McKyle's skinnies, I have heard some
scary stuff! The reasons people gave me as possible causes of his rapid
weight loss include: adrenal disease, liver problems, intestinal blockage,
infection, and ulcers. Yikes! Now I have another request: Please, if
anyone has had ferrets experience any of these aforementioned problems IN
CONJUNCTION WITH rapid weight loss, will you please e-mail me with a few
details? I would hate to think it's anything as serious as any of these
afflictions, but I suppose anything is possible. But I would like to know
if anyone else can help with details of their experiences.
Now, to other ferret bitness: To Bandit, Tess, & your hoomans: Happy
Birthday Bandit! Hi Tess! Don't worry, Shane, David (my husband) never
gets his kisses 'til last either! Thanks for your help, Emily!
To Aimee & your tail-wagger: McKyle wags too! Usually when he's REALLY
excited, like in the bath, the sandbox, or a good dirty mud puddle.
To Slinky the Moondancer: Re. your "Spokane Update" post, ....Hoorah! I
agree! And if that makes me a "Wacky Animal Extremist", well, then, bring
it on!!
To anyone who has ever been kissed: My Merlin is THE BESTEST kisser of them
all!!!! He especially loves to kiss me when I get home from work--at work I
always have sandwiches with Extra Extra Onion (yum!) for lunch, and so I
have *lovely* breath when I get home. Merlin loves it!
Happy Ferreting Everyone!
Rachelle & David
McKyle & Merlin
