Hi all Sorry it has been a while since my last update. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get it all done. First there is some sad news. The oldest and sickest little boy had to be helped over the bridge earlier this week. We had been concerned that he was too far gone and unfortunately we were right :( He was not responding to the meds and supportive care being given in hopes of getting him strong enough for surgery. Necropsy showed that the disease was just too advanced and the damage too extensive. Spike was the perfect example of why waiting to treat adrenal disease is not a good course of action. If we had gotten him say 6 months earlier of if his owner had gotten him care when he first showed signs...his prognosis would have been much brighter. The 2 little girls had adrenal surgery Wed evening. Everything went well and they are recovering very nicely. One was a straight adrenal surgery. The other had a tumor removed off her messenteric lymph node and adrenalectomy. The girls are super sweet and will be beautiful when they aren't bald :) I have two more surgery spots reserved for this coming week. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to write and ask about the ferrets. I also want to thank the generous souls who have lovingly donated toward the medical care for these ferrets. So far you all have given almost $600. I can't thank you enough or express just what a difference your kindness has made. These ferrets would not be getting care without you. I still need to raise around another $600 to pay for the uncoming surgeries. I am going to try and get some auctions up on e-bay to help with this. I will post the details when I get it all set up. Thank you for your help and support:) ~Tara PFRA [Posted in FML issue 4206]
