Skweeky, my little kissy girl goes in for adrenal surgery tomorrow, She is going bald rapidly and it looks identical to the way Bubbles went when he had an adrenal problem. Luckily, I have trcaed the vet who operated on him, the same vet I was wishing I could find last December when my big handsome guy was fighting (and losing)a mystery illness. Thankfully David (the vet) has now settled at a prcatic ein a nearby town and agreed to operate on Skweek... reminding me that "he isnt a ferret expert", but I know he will again be reading up at Dr Williams site, which he found greatly helpful last time. Rhoobarb has been co-opted as blood donor in case, as the prcatice is around 30 mins from here she is going to be "on hand" during surgery, and as she has really earned her nickname of Biteyweezil, Im going to be on hand too just in case she needs to be handled.. better she chomps me than anyone else. Please think happy thought for my tiny little girl, she want no more out of life than a shoulder to stand on so she can clean my ears and wash my face, she is my 2nd (bubbles was the first), and having suffered the loss of 2 in 2 years I am really nervous. My thoughts to others with sick fuzzie heart thieves -- Best regards, Cris & Skweek (Spookydook) Rhoobarb (Biteyweezil) And remembering Custard(Cussie(angel)weezil) & Bubbles (da Warweezil) leader of the Furkidz..
