Hi Everyone..
 
a while back Jim March was here and he told you about a rescue he went on
with me..  to pick up two fuzzys with adrenal disease... one advanced and
one in the beginning stages..  both in dreadful condition..
 
the advanced case..  Miss Minnie..  has nearly doubled in weight to almost
two pounds..  and no longer looks like thin skin stretched over sharp bones
with brillo pad fur here and there..  the fur is soft [not any more of it,
but none more lost] and she is padded out..  she plays non-stop and is a
fuzzy for the first time..  everything so natural to my kids is a new joy to
her..  toys, blankies, treats, free roaming, excellent eats [and Woozle Goo
thru the syringe 3 times a day ..  at first only 10 cc's would fit..  now 30
cc's go in just dandy] and snuggling up under the covers right under my chin
to be petted to sleep at night... her skin is soft and no more sores..  and
her broken teeth are coated so they don't hurt anymore..  she is one happy
fur kid..  and who is the patient..  let's her beat him up..  jump on him..
try to drag him around..  steal his treat..  mooch his favourite blankie...
and snatch his toys???  none other than Frosty..  my 4 lb.  Gib Silver
Mitt..  who is very strong and massively built... she just romps all over
him and he happily let's her..  soooo funny to watch..  but woe to any other
fuzzy that should get ideas about trying it... just his little thin,
furless, sweetie...
 
the sister..  the early stages girl... 'Sissie'..  has not progressed
further..  she is getting nice fur, no more sores..  gained 8 oz.  and is
having the time of her life right next to her little sister...
 
both are arrested as far as the adrenal disease is concerned..  and nearly
in good enough shape to have surgery... Minnie is most likely bi-lateral and
little to be done.  but Sissie may be early enough to do something lasting
for...
 
both had internal infections..  Minnie was burning up with fever and was on
Amoxy for over two weeks to get it reversed..  Sissie turned around in 10
days...
 
both are having the first happy times of their lives..  neither could run or
jump or climb when they arrived..  both can do all of that and more now...
 
such sweet kids... and so happy in spite of being so very ill... they are a
joy to share my life with...
 
Happy Fuzzys...
