Hi kids! Guess what? Dustbin is okay! I was worried when some of you said it might be cardiomyopathy, but I took him to the vet this morning. Of course, the major bloodwork isn't back but the CBC is fine, and Vetman said Dustbin is probably fine. We think I might have just let ferret-head's toenails get too long. Dustbin eats A LOT. Even if I hadn't let toenail clippings go an extra week, the vet thinks that maybe because he eats a lot his toenails grow fast anwyay. I'll just have to be more vigilant. So guess who was right? Among others, Todd and his Fuzzbutt rodeo clowns seem to have guessed right. Hey, does anyone know where I can get L'Avian ferret food in or around New Orleans? The ferts are okay with the Zupreem, but I think they really liked the L'Avian -- especially Mab who is VERY picky. Dustbin eats anything, as often as possible. thanks everyone. Hope all your fuzzies are okay, and ailing ones are getting better. I am so relieved. Poorer, but relieved. :) -christine and dustbin and Mab [Posted in FML issue 4203]
