I received a call last evening from Norma who has two older ferrets and one needs adrenal surgery. I've offered to cover the cost of the initial vet visit to verify the surgery is needed but we need to raise funds for the surgery. Norma loves her little ones dearly and wants to get the medical care they need but, like the rest of us, these things often come when money is short. She's agreed to have our vet do the surgery so if anyone would be willing to donate a few dollars towards the $225 for the surgery, please email me privately and we'll go from there. Normally I'd cover this myself but I just put $650 into my car for new brakes and tires and I don't have any more extra then the initial visit to give right now. Please, if you can see it in your heart and finances to help these little ones stay in their loving home and get the medical care they need through donating whatever you can, please email me at [log in to unmask] And while I'm asking, what about helping the lady in MO too so she can keep her little one. I'm offering what little I can to her too so I'm not asking anyone to do more than I'll do myself. For those that are cautious, making checks out directly to vet offices, or calling in with credit card info quarantees the donations go directly for vet care. Please keep Shadow, Stretch, and Calvin in your thoughts. They aren't feeling well.... Warm hugs to all. tle Troy Lynn Eckart, F.B.S.
