thanks our vet called and it's a liver infection and he's well on the
road to recovery we're feeding him a special slurry diet the vet gave us
and at breakfast today for Vinnie he ate 15CC of food along with a full
cap of pediatric electrolyte he's doing well.  When we got our new furkid
George his former mommy gave us a very expensive cage and we used that
cage for a secure sleeping place so we knew where we could find him to
medicate and feed him.  The cage is nearly 6ft tall and man it's got more
shelves then my kitchen cabinets along with ramps and Georges hammy which
I need to put in for George and Vinnie when he gets stronger.
 
All 4 of our furkids sleep in a fur pile sometimes and it's so cute when
they do it now we have a larger business and I am so happy I could just
do a war dance of my own :-) and everyone on the list that's reading
this I don't want to put on my fire proof shorts ;-) our vet who is the
leading vet on the west coast if not the entire country she said that
ferrets get these liver infections she doesn't know why or how but they
do and it's not contagious.  Vinnie he will live and I made a deal with
The Almighty if he lets Vinnie stay in the land of the living I'd never
come home that drunk again.  Have a good time and heres some good vibes
to your furkids.
 
 
Sincerely
David Owings
