This has been an awful few weeks for us. We lost Pearl soon after we rescued her due to a huge tumor that made up 40% of her tiny little bodies weight, then Dan crashes with low blood sugar. We get the taken care of and now we are afraid we might lose Murphy. He ate part of a tulip bulb and that caused a blockage. Tulip bulbs are also toxic. He came through the surgery on Friday, but he is still pretty much comatose. Part of that could be the pain meds that he is on because he is in a lot of pain. Why he is in a lot of pain we aren't sure. He is not currently eating or drinking on his own, and is on an IV. He can't come home until he is alert enough to eat and drink on his own. I am lost as to what else to try for him. The vet does not want to give up on him yet, he thinks that he can pull through. But I have to tell you, it is tough to see your ferret in a coma, and no one can really figure out why. The fact that he lived through surgery is astounding. As long as the vet thinks he has a chance, I have to take it. If anyone can think of anything else to do, or something to try, please let me know. I am going crazy here with worry and guilt.
