Well Ben had a pretty good day today. He stilll has some diarehha, but that appears to be improving. He did however try and vomit after I gave him his Carafate, but nothing materialized. Thank goodness! He is such a sweet boy, only 5 and already he has been through so much. He has had a double Adrenalectomy and a partial Pancrectomy. Why do these precious creatures have to go through so much? We adopted him and his brother Jerry, yes Ben & Jerry from a shelter. Apparently the owners could not find time for them. The previous owners kept them both in a bird cage! They both weighed over 4lbs each when we took them home. Because we give them so much out of cage time they trimmed right down. They are so happy together-they have another brother, Schnapps, and 3 sisters- Oprah, Rosie & Momo. I've gone through the awful experience of loosing a ferret, well actually five of them. I somehow always think that oh next time it will be easier. It never is. To look at him you wouldn't even know that he is sick. Despite the Adrenal disease he has the most beautiful soft and luxurious coat. However much time he is going to be loved. Ben in my prayers along with all the other ferrets and their Mom's & Dad's God Bless Lisa & her 24 paws [Posted in FML issue 4171]
