Just a quick note to let everyone know the ferrets are here tonight, all asleep and settled for the night. There was only time to do a quick assessment but will do a thorough evaluation tomorrow. There's at least two adrenal kids, the sad little girl will have her glucose checked tonight and soup. The majority have good weight and soft, silky coats. One big boy couldn't stop licking my arm. The biter didn't bite. Yet. J This is a sad situation for the ferrets and their "person" that the ferrets had to be surrendered. They obviously had love and good care, it's not a neglect situation. I know rumors are flying and some have been flamed already. Imagine the pain and heartache the person who had to surrender them is going through. It's not an easy decision to decide to surrender the little ones we love so much but sometimes, life, age and health happens that we have no control over. These guys need new homes, preferably private homes with lots of the tlc they're used to. I hope everyone will think first of the ferrets. Please let me know if you can take some of these kids. Thanks to Vicki getting the ball rolling on this and to Julie for a very long day of driving! More tomorrow night after we get to know each other. Hugs to all, Jackie [Posted in FML 5880]
