One of these days my husband and I would like to take a few days and go away on a mini vacation. We got through a month or so and everyone was doing fine except for the normal stuff. Yesterday Scooter (the wonder ferret) crashed on us with a glucose of 23--scared the ever luv'in you-know-what out of me!!! Him being lethargic and trying to walk (crawl) was my first indication of anything wrong. We won't really know until the blood panel comes back to see what all we are dealing with and decide on surgery. God, I hope it's nothing more than insulinoma even though I DON'T want that! That would make 3 now. We're having to force feed him and he's fighting us. I'm hoping to get enough food in him to get him over the hump! He's only 4-ish, a real sweetheart, an MF dark sable, and we've only had him since November. In January he had spleen, adrenal and hair ball surgery (everything else looked OK). BTW he "was free". Please say a little prayer for Scooter, my little dooder, and any advice to bring him around quickly would be GREATLY appreciated! (He is on pred.) I would never have forgiven myself if this happened while we were gone! I keep thinking that if we get through SEVERAL months in a row without any major problems we could consider it. How do you EVER feel comfortable enough to go on vacation? Who knows them like you do? Who can take care of them like you can? Mary and The 12 Munchkins [Posted in FML issue 3056]
