Oh my GAWD! What a super busy week this was! We took in George & Dana this week. George is so skinny and has no hair. He's almost 7 (so is Dana) and we took him in for a Lupron shot and blood work (he's anemic)...Then Poppy & Opium came to the shelter. Poppy is an albino who is nervous but Opium is TERRIFIED! She is biting real hard right now, but auntie Paige is taking her for a week before she leaves on her camping trip. Once she's been with auntie Paige for a bit, she'll be fine. Both girls are in heat so they will have to be spayed this week. On Saturday, we took in 7 ferrets. 2 unaltered males and 4 unaltered (in heat) females with 1 spayed female. All were infested with fleas real bad. This leaves us with 6 spays and 2 neuters <urgh> Sherlock Flea was neutered this week. He's doing great and now gets along with our big run group. On Sunday, we'll be taking in Loki, a fear biter from a pet store. He's already about 7 months old and has never been handled by people. We're also taking in a former resident, Zeus who's mom just had a baby and also is very ill. She's finding it really hard to cope with her illness, a new baby and a ferret. On Monday, we'll have to drive to Midland which is about 2 hours away from the shelter to pick up a little one from Animal Control out there. On Tuesday we'll be taking in Nala, a 1 1/2 year old who's dad is moving and can't take her with him.....a total of 15 ferrets in LESS than 1 week! i went to Guelph with Dylan this week. i'm doing great. the doc says he's real impressed with me! Dylan has chronic inflammation in his throat, but no infection. the doc *thinks* he has allergies so we'll be trying him on some Benadryl to see if it helps. Scamper was adopted this week and so was Rodney. Scamper *may* be coming back though :-( Saturday we did our "spring clean up"! We painted the ferret room (i helped too, i swear!) and took all the cages outside to give them a good scrubbing......boy, what a busy week we had!!!
