Hi everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the beauty of fall and kisses from your ferret baby or babies. Jackie at Dook Nook has need of a few volunteers for a month or so, if anyone can help out. Her loyal helper is in the hospital, and Jackie is having some health issues ...to say the least. She has taken in another shelters babies right after a hoard of neglected, dying, and medically compromised ferrets arrived. Even the young ones have tumors, or cardyomyopathy, or are early adrenal. We all know the vet expenses for the tests to determine what is wrong per ferret are enormous. The meds themselves can be $40 a bottle per ferret per month. Lupron shots are $50 a month. That is what I am paying. All these poor babies are costing Dook Nook thousands of dollars. So if you are looking for a special ferret gift for yourself or someone runni ng a shelter...please look at the one of a kind ferret shadow box put on ebay by Princess Pepper of SOS and consider it. <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200028739680> So many of us donate so much in terms of money, things we make, volunteering. The FML folks make a tremendous difference the lives of thousands of ferrets. Thank you all for the huge hearts out there. You melt mine. Can anyone out there help? Thank you very much.
