Condolences to those with lost, sick, or angeled star stuff...
 
"...because we are all...star stuff."
 
Well, now I've got *good* news to report!  Hershey has been on prednisone
steroid treatment for three days.  The change is astounding!  He plays
almost the entire time he it out of his cage.  He comes up on the futon
to eat snacks (he hasn't done that for years!).  He plays with the cat
(even when the cat is sleeping!).  He plays with the girls (not the one
he cages with--the other ones that sing and dance and bounce around the
house from the *other* cage).  He even makes a bee-line to Spazzie and
Dancer's cage to eat their food (same food he has in his own bowl), drink
from their water bottle (ditto) and "use" their litter box, as soon as
everyone gets released for silly behavior!
 
I also checked his tumors.  They are still noticibly present, but seem
to be a bit smaller.  The vet said it could take a few days for them to
shrink enough to really be able to tell.  However, by the results I'm
getting now, I'm very impressed!  Its almost like having a brand new kit
in the house!
 
Wait a minute...this *is* Hershey, the ferret genius.  I'd better hide my
tools!
 
BTW, I have a ferret that suffers from a partial affliction of Bovine TB.
Ok, not the TB part...just the bovine part.  He's trying very hard to get
to be as big as a cow!
