We made it!! Although much work is to be done, the ferrets are out of Titusville and here, in Orlando. I'm sure most of you know that we took out a total of 100 ferrets. Most of these guys are between the ages of 3 - 4. Their health ranges as well as their cleanliness- yet they all seem very content to be loved. We started doing their ADV testing and will try to bang the rest out tonight. I would love to thank everyone for their individual efforts to this cause. I hesitate to name everyone as my brain is fading from being tired and if I left out anyone, I would hate it. Each person's contribution to this cause was important and necessary for the success we have had this weekend. Please do not forget us or the ferrets. Our biggest needs for now are litter, food, and finances. Our vet visits begin Wed. with a large male DEW that seems to have an ear tumor and is a biter (perhaps from the pain) He has been affectionately named Jaws. (LOLOL) We also have a large sable male with a chordoma (sp?) on his tail that needs to be removed immediately. Our third ferret for Wed.'s appointment will be a silver, adrenal male that has a prolapsed rectum. We have been treating it well, yet we are a bit afraid that an infection has started that Amoxi may or may not help.. We did lose one old man Sunday morning. He was too far gone when we got to him and he started to go into organ failure in the evening. It is amazing how many of us he touched in such a short time. We take comfort in the fact that he enjoyed one whole day of love and that he did not die alone in the corner of a dark shed. In my heart I dedicate this rescue to "Old Man" who fought for a long time and waited to die when he found love and peace. He blessed us for a day and because of him, we have the focus and energy to continue on. I will send our vet's info to Katherine later tonight for those wanting to send funds directly to our vet's office. We have asked Katherine to do most of our postings to save us the time so as to dedicate as much as we can to these ferrets.. Please do not think we are ignoring e-mails if we have not replied and if you feel you have a specific question, by all means let me know and I will try to reply in a day or two... Another amazing thanks to everyone out there for their donations of time, supplies, advice, emotional support, input, honesty and love. This is definitely one of the most trying undertakings I have endured recently, yet also one of the most rewarding! We can use volunteers any evening after 7:00 p.m. Just let me know ahead of time to assure we are here and to as to not have too many volunteers in one evening. Yet- we do need help with loving these guys and cleaning their cages. Several are on fluids and Duck Soup as well.. With love and thanks!! Michelle Alverson, President Ferrets-N-Limbo, Inc.
