Hello everyone! thank you all for being there. Just a quick update on my baby Bailey with the broken back. he is absolutely wonderful, and I feel blessed every day to wake up and see his beautiful face. He is a challenge, however because he can never seem to keep himself clean. My husband thinks that I am crazy for wanting to care for him, but I cannot live without him!! He gets along fine with two of my female ferrets, but my youngest Baby attacks him every chance she gets. I let him out with Frea and Chatter, and I feel bad, but Baby has to go in her cage when he is out. Hopefully someday they can all get along!!! My not so good news is that I did a routine ultrasound on Frea, and the Dr. found four tumors. She needs an exploratory surgery asap. She is acting completely normal, but those horrible growths inside of her abdomen are not going to disappear on their own. She has a left adrenal tumor, as well as one on her pancreas. The other two tumors are in less invasive spots, but bottom line, they are still there. I am so scared. Frea means so much to me. I just can't fathom the thought of losing her. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. [Posted in FML issue 4043]
