Hi all,
 
Well, I was holding Laz and I counted 6 lumps under his skin.  Tumors?  He's
the one who was diagnosed with lymphosarcoma back in March of this year.
After being treated with the cortizone shots his spleen seemed to go down
quite a bit and he regained his old self again.  He still seems chipper, but
now he also seems to be straining when he goes to the bathroom.  Today I'm
gonna call the vet and see what he thinks.  If anyone in the New York State
area (Orange County) is looking for a good vet, Dr. Eric Evans from Flannery
Animal Hospital in Newburgh, NY is excellent.  He loves these critters and
it shows.  Their number is (914) 564-6760.
 
I called 1-800-JEFFERS and I ordered a 20lb. bag of Totally Ferret for $43 +
change (that includes $5.  UPS shipping) for anyone interested.
 
All my fuzzies are super soft except for Tozer my silver mitt male.  He's
the only one whose coat is still rough and he's been on the stuff since when
I bought him.  But he is muscular and active!  All 3 of my females are soft
and fluffy.  When I got Raspberry and Radar, they were skinny and their
coats were so coarse.  Three months later and they are gorgous.
 
Keep Laz in your thoughts, he may be passing sooner than I thought.
 
Dar and Rascal and Tozer and Laz and Raspberry and Radar . . .
