Hey all.... We had an Emergency adrenal & decided,as long as we had driven 3 hrs from WA State,to Oregon to see our Favorite Vet,DR Alice Davis.... to include 2 other "possibles" We jumped in the Motor Home with all 9 kids & just left,calling Chris at her Oregon City Shelter not to ask her but to let her know we were on our way....we woke her up at midnight,to yet again express Rambo's bladder & bring the kids inside.David had already put our cord out in the driveway.... She woke us up early,to be at the Vet by 8am...DR Alice put other business on hold. Rambo had a left,then Muffy a messy bloody right with a funky lymph node (thanks to Chris,already in DR Williams office) and Gabriel a left....(no symptoms but Rambo's pee blockage,i just knew...we talked,lol) I was a Wreck:::::::::sigh:::::::::::::::::: Especially with Muffy......my 5 1/2 yr old baby,a mommies girl....she wasn't coming around very fast.Her breathing was shallow...Chris stole my Torb afraid i'd give it to her & really mess her up...(Nawwwwwww:) Then i was sent to the Motor Home to drink wine....i HATE to drink wine alone,(without dinner,hubby was there:) but it works,LOL My nervous wreck self almost pushed her over but she held strong....we stayed 2 days.. I was a real wreck when Saturdays volunteers (hundreds,i swear!) showed up.chatter & laughter...all i needed;)) I lost it many times,but Chris never did:)) As she told me,Muffy is just fine....Normal recovery i guess. Now we are home & bruises are disappearing (except the ones where she kept kicking me:) i can see i torture myself needlessly,at times... but that's just me..... Bless you Chris for your expertise & your patience,Dr Alice for your Wonderful skills & compassion,Katy for your pep talk,& Dave, for letting us & so many others, invade your home at all hrs of the day or night... Nothing is Sacred when your Shelter is in your home...nothing but the ferrets...(now..i even know the color of Daves toothpaste:)) Thanks again & God Bless:) Tara,Jerry & the Kids;)) Join our Ferret Group!!
