I received this email yesterday .......... -------- Hello, we were recently given an unwanted ferret that we cannot keep but I am having trouble finding her a home, because she appears to have adrenal disease I am thinking? We made the mistake of thinking we could take her in before seeing what she looked like, but we didn't want to leave her in her former home after she was given to us. She has hair loss and weight loss. Though she has recently started growing fur back on her tail, her rump is still pretty sparse. She is very scrawny looking, despite how much she eats. She eats like a horse, but looks like skin and bones under her fur. We want her to go to a suitable home where they can afford to take her to the vet and get her treatment. I am not sure how far along her disease is in progression, as I am not experienced with this sort of thing. We already have a dog, a cat, and a rat, and we just cannot afford her treatment. I am at a loss for where to take her, and I do not want to put her to sleep since she is a great ferret and seems like she has a lot of life left to live, and I was hoping you had an opening for a special needs ferret, she is around 5 years old I think. She is fine with our dog Josci and loves to climb and explore, she has lots of energy despite her condition, and we let her roam the house most of the day, and she is good with the litter box, so I don't think she would be very hard to find a home for if the right person was found. -------- Is anyone able to help? If so, email me, please. Thanks Dee West Michigan Ferret Connection [Posted in FML 6651]
