Hi, My name is Boo. Well that is what my foster mum is calling me for now. I really belong to a pet store called Haynes Pet Center. On my foster mum's birthday, she came into the store and saw me in the cage and my poor bum was all red and swollen. When she pointed this out to the owner, she said she had just taken him to the vet and they told her it was a prolapsed rectum and it would heal by itself. Well my foster mum told them that the litter in my cage would just make it worse and offered to take me home until I was better. I did get better and was returned, only to come back to her a day later, because my bum was still red. Three days after that I was taken back to the vet and he put some sugar in my bum and tried to push it back in, telling my foster mom it would be ok, just to keep him on moist food. Trouble is, it is not better and I she knows I need to have surgery to have it fixed. She wants to have this done but does not have the money it would probobly cost to have it fixed and the owner of the pet store has been trying to contact both the breeeder, and Marshall Ferrets to see if they can help. Anoter worry is that the breeder would more than likely take me back and give her another fuzzie and have me put to sleep and Marshalls has not gotten back to her. So her delimma is to try and find a way to raise the money to have me looked at by a GOOD and retable ferret vet she knows in Macon. Any idea's?? She is at her wits end and I know that she wants to do what ever she can to help me. She has plnety of love and time to look after me and cuddles and plays with me every day, now I just want to get better and I need some help. Helpless Boo in Georgia [Posted in FML issue 4008]
