Thought I'd let everyone know how Max, the ferret with *no* adrenal glands
was doing.  As you may remember, Dr.  Bock had him on a medical supplement
to deal with his lack of adrenal glands, and he is doing well, to some
degree.  I have learned that getting a proper dosage is a difficult
balancing act.  At first, he wasn't getting enough, so he started to wither
away, so I upped his dosage, and then he got too much.  Within a week he had
gained a pound or so, and now he is quite possibly the fattest ferret in
existence.  I've lowered his dosage again, but he hasn't dropped back down
in weight.  He's alot lazier, he tends to just lie in one place all day, but
at least he's alive and he seems happy.
 
Boy is he fat though.  I have a four inch tube that he can't climb through
anymore.  Wow.  He also eats about a week's worth of food in one day - I'd
cut back but then my other skinny little ferret would starve.
 
|A couple of days ago I posted a serious request asking for information about
|how many ferrets are legally allowed in various municipalities/jurisdictions
 
Umm..  Okay.  As far as I know the communities I have lived in (Geneva, IL.;
Madison, WI; Ft. Collins, CO) have a limit of one billion, i.e. no limit
that I know of.
