Since she loves my dirty socks I even put one each in some crinkly tissue paper and tied it Christmas Cracker style with curled ribbon. She looked so PROUD carrying those big things around. For a furface of almost 7 who has carcinoma and almost died about 3 months ago she is going strong. Her Lasix is up to 2 and 1/2 mg three times a day, she has Prednisolone, once a day she has Fluorinef, and she gets baby food soups in addition to her regular foods, but she has NOT yet needed her pain meds. All in all the ferrets are having fine holiday here, but the high point was Ashling going WILD popping all the bubble wrap. She actually exhausted herself and had to nap afterward before a new bout of play. [Posted in FML issue 4373]
