Hi, everyone! Frankie now has shiny, pearly whites since she got her teeth cleaned. No more tartar. And she got chicken-flavored toothpaste and a toothbrush, too. Everything turned out fine. Thanks for your support regarding anesthesia. The vets and assistants have all decided she's the sweetest ferret of all three of mine now, because she didn't give them any trouble. Ha! To Mr. Thistlethwaite: If your friend in Oregon isn't going to spend more time with his ferret in the future, please give the ferret to me. I just can't stand the thought of him staying there. To the gentleman in Peterborough, Ontario: My Irish ancestors lived in Peterborough before they moved to the U.S. To Dr. Williams: Lucky Charm seems to be getting better again. She still sneezes occasionally (usually when she gets into something, like you said) but isn't vomiting very often. She's a non-stop little playing machine, with lots of horse, er, that is, ferretpower. Lots of dooks to everyone! (John Wayne, the Dook -- that's a cute name.) I live in the Dook City.
