I ask for prayers for a very sick boy. His former owner heard of abuse taking place & got the ferret back. Horrible, just makes you cry condition. She did take pictures & called in ASPCA. Then she took him to one of our vets. She placed him in isolation as she suspected distemper. That has been ruled out. It's one of the worst cases of upper respitory she has seen. When he got to the vets, she really though he wouldn't make it thru the day. He is under a #, for a big framed ferret. Had dog crap, litterally all over him. Scabs on his lips, a few wounds on his body. But she found an ulcer in the roof of his mouth. Filled with so much pus. He couldn't even stand up. He has had a bath, put on meds. And before any of this took place, she too had pictures taken & has involved ASPCA. She will follow thru with it. The person the former owner had let have this ferret is a Small Animal Specialist for Petco. WE all hope that not only will she have very heavy animal crulety charges but will be fired as well. Hi, the ferret, whom does have a name but it will be changed, is being kept at the vets during the day. At night , a vet tech with no animals at their home, takes him home & works with him. They are feeding him AD/baby food for now. This morning, he stood up. !!!! So, please keep him in prayers. -- Sandi Heaven Scent Ferret Rescue/Shelter http://fuzzyslave.tripod.com [log in to unmask] Dothan,Al 334-899-7967 Its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice [Posted in FML 5885]
