Dear Randie- I know that there are "ferret whisperers" out there who can probably work wonders with Chibi, given enough time. They may want to "yell" at you for finding a new home for Chibi. Having grown up in a home with a Neurologist (you are probably sick and tired of Neurologists!) I also know that seizures are erratic and potentially damaging things. It takes a lot out of you to have a seizure, and you can't control what you do. You could fall and hurt yourself terribly, or hurt Chibi without meaning to. Every seizure is sort of a crapshoot--you roll the dice and you get what you get. Sometimes what you get is really very badly hurt. Your situation sounds very tense. YOU could be hurt. CHIBI could be hurt. I can completely understand your Dad's anger, too. He loves you, and your seizures scare him. I think that way too many people give up on a difficult ferret but doing the loving thing here may well be to give Chibi up. This is an unusual situation, not the usual "it poops everywhere, it eats my couch, it wants more attention than I want to give it, I don't have the time for it" kind of thing. This is a valid medical issue. And anyone who loves an epileptic and has seen them seize badly knows that this isn't a "vanity" issue for you. If you stay afraid of Chibi you won't be able to give her the kind of love and attention that she needs, wants, and deserves. Please help the FML help you. Please let us know what area of the country you and Chibi live in. There may be someone nearby who can help you rehome her. You can also help any shelter willing to take Chibi by donating some cash to her upkeep, a bag of food, or some basic shelter cleaning supplies like paper towels. With this economy shelters are stretched thinner than ever. Any help you can give will help a *lot*. And anyone who "yells" at you on this forum? Hasn't walked a mile in your shoes. Epilepsy is an inconvenience for some. But it is a very serious business for some. Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 6935]
