Hello all.
We have only had Shanook and Bailey for a couple of weeks and we now have
Bear and Weasel.
 
Bear is only about 3 yr. old but has Lymphoma.  All of her lymph nodes
are swollen, including some internal nodes.  Her fur is thining and is
very dry.  She is apparently a very sick little girl but you would never
know it.  She is a real live wire, war dancing and dooking to beat the
band.  I know our time with her is short but we are going to enjoy the
time as much as possible.
 
Weasel is about 5 yr. old and seems to be in good health although they
suspect she may have cushings.  That is one area I know very little
about.  Maybe some of you could fill me in.  Her vulva is a little swollen
but that is the only visible problem at this point.
 
Last week I had Shanook and Bailey to the vet for their shots.  I stayed
longer than the prescribed time and it is a good thing I did.  Shanook
started throwing up.  The vet gave him Benedryl and because he was so busy
trying to throw up, he couldn't breathe properly and started to turn blue.
A little oxygen and he was fine again.  Very tired, but fine.  He was fine
but his new mom was a wreck.
 
That's it for now.
