Sorry I have not posted in a while. I have had to deal with a few things here lately. I had finals and I was up for a promotion, that and of course the ferret illnesses that usually follow. But tonight is a sad night. Riley is not doing so well. The past few days she was not eating all that she should. I went in to the vet this morning and things were way off. Her glucose was at 27 and I'm told below 30 is usually fatal. The doctor gave her sub-q, Tagamet and dextrin something or other. I got her home and gave her some Carafate and food. I tired to feed her a little more a couple of hours later, but she was resistant. This evening, she is unresponsive. The signs are there that she may not make it through the night. I guess I knew this was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. She is 8 yrs and 7 months, so this is not really a surprise. It just seemed like last time, we got her to the doctor and gave her the meds, later that day she was up and picking on the boys. I guess I had just hoped for the same miracle. I'm not really sure why I'm writing. I don't need advice and I don't really think there are any lessons here. Maybe I just needed to write.
