Well Guys:
 
Just when I thought it was safe to assume Wompy's great health...
 
Last Friday, I went to get Wompy out of her cage when I noticed her lying
there w/ that all-too-familiar dull look in her eyes.  I immediately took
her out & she was limp.  She was barely aware of what was happening & I
immediately got to work w/ the honey to snap her out of her spell.
 
I called the vet & he told me to keep a close eye on her & keep him up on
her condition.  Well, not 20 min.  later, while I was holding her, she had a
stroke.  I'd never seen anything like it (& I hope I never do again).
Needless to say, at 10:20 pm, I was on my way to meet the vet @ the clinic.
 
I felt worse for her than ever.  She was so limp on the way to the vet that
I had resolved that she had died.  So, when I went into the vet's office, to
my extremely happy surprise, she was up & about, albeit listing to one side,
but rela- tively ok.  The vet took her home w/ him to watch her overnight
(that's doc!).  When I picked her up Sat.  morning, she was a little
disoriented but seemed no worse for the wear.
 
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know the scoop, since a few of you wrote me
to wish me good luck w/ her.  She's doing fine now & I think she'll be ok
(now if only I could find a way to trick her into taking those little
prednisone pills!).
 
Well, take care & I hope this is the last trouble for Wompy.  A big fuzzy
hug to all you ferrets out there!
