Update on Mouse. Called yesterday afternoon to get an update...the wonderful vet gave her Simulox (although she thinks it is a viral infection in the gut). She also gave her 70ml of fluid SubQ (yesterday) and on the third attempt (this morning) managed to get enough blood to run a test. She mentioned at this stage that she was begining to fight the valiant attemps to help her so I knew she was coming around. We go back in 4 weeks to get another sample as there is a possibility of slight kidney damage. I got a call this morning at work that she is Ok to come home. The 3 boys and I bundled ourselves in the car to pick her up. They got the once over and we came home. I have some powered food to feed her that is full of ferret goodness and can make it think or watery depending on her desire to drink. As soon as we got home, she dove into the water dish and drank for 5 minutes while I fought off the boys as they couldn't get enough of her butt smell....obviously something only they enjoy!! ANyway, she has had some food and water and is resting. She perks up occasionally, I just feel the illness has taken a lot out of her and she should be better soon. Thanks for the concern Ailigh, Mouse and the boys [Posted in FML issue 3027]
