Hi,
 
I posted last week about my sick pumpkin, who had the runs, was vomiting,
and severely dehydrated.( I wouldn't post anonymously but I live somewhere
that has a stupid "ferrets are illegal" law.) That same night my friend
helped me get him to a vet (she's an exotics specialist, has 5 ferrets of
her own).  Poor baby had to have surgery because he'd eaten a piece of foam
rubber--the vet said normally he would've been able to break it down but he
has a case of heliobacter, so that complicated everything.  So he was in the
hospital for about two days.  Now he's home with us, eating chicken baby
food, and taking 3 meds.  His spirits are good and in fact he wants to get
out and do a lot of running around--we're trying to have him take it easy
more or less.
 
I just wanted to give an update since some nice people posted to the list
asking about him.  Thanks.
