Well, the two old guys arrived today much to the joy of my daughter. Overall, both appear in excellent shape, active, friendly, eating and normal poops (yeah, they had to try out a corner). The seven year old certainly has the tail appearance of adrenal and both eyes appear cloudy, would this be cataracts? I have an ultrasound scheduled for him already to check out the adrenal. I don't think surgery is an option at this age, but what about Lupron, any comments, experiences or feedback anyone would like to share?? To everyone who wrote encouraging me to bring these guys into my home, you were absolutely correct, the old guy is such a doll, he fell asleep in my arms while I was rubbing his head. The younger guy (4 years) is quite active, nice weight, decent coat. He just went crazy with the other ferrets, had a blast, curled up my Peanut for a nap after a very short time. Thanks again to everyone who sent posts about the old guys. I wish everyone could experience what I did today, I honestly believe the number of old guys in shelters would be greatly reduced. He may be old, but he still has a lot of fun left in him. He ran, dooked and played with the young guys, then came looking for a warm lap to curl up in. Best of both worlds, even if just for a short time..... Hugs to everyone, Jen [Posted in FML issue 2930]
