Hello to everyone, first I want to thank everyone for there wonderful thoughts for the crew I got in. I am trying to reply to everyone, but it is taking time. :-) So far 3 have been adopted. The others are doing well and gaining weight, aside from one. One little old guy came in under a pound and unable to move. He can not move any of his legs at all. Tests have shown no reason, we suspect a major storke. I have been feeding him every hour and also doing exercises in the tub to help his legs to no avail. He has put on weight but still can not move. It has been decided to give him one more week and then I have to make a decision I hate. I have only made that choice 2 other times in ten years. But he has no quality of life. If it is possible he is worse then Brodie was when we got hime in. At least Brodie has leg function. I refused to give up on Brodie though I was told to and now he is a healthy 2.3 pounds of fluff and love. He is the best, he is now our shelter mascot since he stresses so easy away from my daughter, he loves that 3 year old somuch. I do not want to give up on "old man Barley" but think if he has no motion after another week I may have to, it breaks my heart. Well again thank you for all the good thoughts and I will update again soon. Stephanie Ferrets Etc. [Posted in FML issue 4327]
