Hi All Up date on the Dutch ferret with extra feet. I took her to Hanneke Moorman yesterday and Hanneke confirms that she has two feet in each back leg complete with bones and nerves; Hunneke has never seen this before either. The left foot is not to bad, the bottom foot has a pad, the toes and the nubbins, the second foot with the toes and claws is on top of this, the right foot is more of a problem as the extra foot is more to the side and the digits fold under, at the moment she is walking on the digits and it doesn't seem to bother her too mutch, she will now be monitored to make sure she doesn't start to walk on the side of her foot as this might cause bone damage if she does it for to long, If all go well we will wait until she is around the 700 gram, then Hanneke will take x rays to decide what, where, when and who will do the repair work, she will also make some good digital photos. Baby Hopje ( in Dutch this means tiny but also hope ) has been adopted by Stichting De Fret, so all her needs will be taken care of for the rest of her life, she has found a forever home with her shelter mum and she is an otherwise healthy and very happy baby girl, When I brought her home to the shelter last night, I was given a photo of Hopje in a tube coming towards the light, I will always treasure this photo, for me it was very symbolic, how dark a tunnel would this little girl have had to travel if she had not crossed our path, We can not help all the ferrets, but the ones we can help makes it all worth while, Will keep you all informed Stephenie Stichting De Fret Netherlands [Posted in FML issue 4621]
