Hi Friends! It's ME YOUR BUDDY JERIMIAH. See I tell you - it is always something! I got a special box the other day- after the long Holiday weekend - it was a late gift from Santa a bottle of ferretone, tube of nutrical and treats... seems that Santa forgot me in his hurry and sent the gifts through the Fed Ex man-- who just could not find me as good as the reindeer do.. so I got a late Holiday was that SPECIAL! Well Mom seems to have gotten Gravy under control here at the shelter. He is getting medicine 2 times a day and is now taking his n bones again for treats ! That was scary! And Hospice Mom Judy had both Pancho and Oleg in for surgery - she knew shelter Mom had her hands full here with two sick kids, year end paperwork etc., so only told her after they were getting back to themselves. She also helped by paying the vet bills - what a great gal. Pancho had a prepucial tumor removed and Oleg had a tumor on his ankle removed but both those kids are running through the tube today and eating up a storm. Now it seems that Dargo needs surgery for adrenal and we are not sure what else. The vets and hospice mom Cindy have been passing info back and forth to determine what the best plan is for Dargo. The young one Orion is eating if Mom feeds him chicken or turkey baby food off the spoon or finger- and he will take nutrical off the finger too- but he has yet to eat any kind of kibble or sup. What a kid! Mom is happy that he is at least gaining some weight back-- though he has a way to go. We have some ebay stuff just in case someone wants to help us stat the 2006 vet cause. I guess it must be hard with so many of us getting the Lupron, melatonin and then the special vet cases. Mom needs to order up another lot of melatonins to- so we won't lose our beautiful soft coats!. I just don't know how she does it all - I would have to take a nap-- or two, especially after a bowl of warm soup! ANyway, she has a special FERRET FUN HOUSE GIFT SET on ebay which ends SOON. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=602633780 [Moderator's note: Above item invalid... can't find it with similar number.
