We recently rescued a 3 month old ferret that is paralyzed in the back end. He gets around just fine and we keep him in a one level cage where he has access to short bowls. He requires assistance to pee and poop and sometimes it just comes out on its own. He has to be bathed every day and I have started cutting up blankets that can be tossed out after use so to keep his area very clean. He was to the vet and the x-ray did not show a break. He has been seen by two vets and they feel he is in no pain, and I agree. He is on a small dose of Pred. to see if that helps. We are giving him some time to see if he remains happy and has a good quality of life. We really don't know what happened to him and he is from a large petstore chain where the "trauma" happened. No one is admitting to the accident. I was wondering if anyone had a small cart that they may have used for their ferret and are no longer using it. I have some ideas for making one but that seems more complicated and I thought if someone had one that is not being used that would be great. Also, if anyone has any ideas, maybe from experience, on how to care for a ferret like Timmy all ideas are welcome. Timmy is very sweet and we want to do our best for him. I someone wanted to adopt him and give him more one on one attention, rather than on of 30.. that would be great.. They would have to fill out an application on our website at www.morningstarr.org. Only a ferret experienced person would be considered and someone who has the time and funds available to give him the best of care. In the meantime he is doing very well. Regards, Fran C.
