Hi,
Yesterday, I received a call from my vet. She said someone was looking for
Ferret Rescue. My vet took the lady's name and phone number and relayed it
to me. I called the lady last night. She (the lady) decided the ferrets
weren't getting enough attention. Would I pick them up? The lady asked if
I would do it when the children were in school today. At 8:15, I arrived
to pick up the furkids. Sad sight, skin and bones, nails needed cutting.
The ferret environment: 2 school age children, 1 toddler, Mom expecting
another in May, 1 cat, and 1 dog. The cage was kept in a bathroom (not
being used I assume) The cage barely fit in the area. I was not able to
see the cage. I did see that the ferrets were sleeping in the corner
litter pan on the top layer.
Thank the Lord they are with me. I put them in a cage with a food dish.
Soon had to put a second one to prevent a fight for the dish. They now
have food, water, nails clipped, given a dose of FerretVite.
What's next? The vet exam is scheduled for 8 AM. Thursday. Poop sample,
Vitamin B shot, distemper shots, and maybe deworming, and whatever my vet
recommends.
Any suggestions on names?
