I am not adopting out in December because of the Holiday. Anyone who wants
to give a fert gets an info packet, a picture, and I suggest that they get a
cage, place the items needed in it and the info. That way the reciever can
read then decide if it is a commitment they want to make.

you can't send to all the shelters, you could divide the list in half and
send $1 to half of them this month and $1 to the other half next month.
I wish that everyone looking to add a ferret to their family would adopt a

I wish that there would be no more animal abuse, whether by intent or

Ferret Rescue of the Western States has 28 ferrets in residence. 24 are
more or less permanent, most with long term medical or behavioral problems.
None for adoption at the moment. One had an adrenalectomy and probably will
go home to owners but she was totally hairless for upwards of a year and she
is also about 9 years old so has many medical problems which may or may not
be resolved. The tumor was moderate size--smaller than I expected, but she
has huge lymph nodes. These seem to be reducing in size with prednisone and
homeopathy (we have had some stunning successes with a combination of Pau
d'Arco and vitamin C as an immune system builder. The formula appears in
some veterinary texts for use in animals anticipating chemotherapy for
cancer). With all her setbacks, you would think she would be debilitated,
yet she is a dynamo!
We have one old girl in maintenance, one post-adrenalectomy but,
unfortunately, developing a tumor on the right side adrenal. Not productive
to remove, but we're having success for the time being with the above
therapies. We have one middle aged girl recovering from tumor surgery.
Probably lymphosarcoma but doing just o.k. now. It's a little soon to tell
how she will do. Other organs not looking too good. One other poor-doer
still hanging in there. Then there's the 5 month old stray who is suspicious
for lymphoma--yes, only 5 months. 3 of this group are Marshall Farms. I
saved one tonight which was only 5 WEEKS. Had a blockage from eating some of
it's T-shirt bedding. Managed to clear it with our special milk mix recipe
laced with laxatone. For those who gasp at feeding milk--no problem if you
add Lactaid drops (ferrets are lactose-intolerant). They love it. Easy to
get meds down or put weight on underweight animals. Recipe upon request.
We adopted out 3 wonderful ferrets this month and took in 6. Unpaid vet
bills remain at about $700. Our wish is that this bill were not so
high........
Best from Carolyn at FRWS
