Today (Friday Oct 20th) is Mandy's birthday! She's 8 years old and doing well (I have to brag!). When she was 6 years, she had her spleen out. Last November, she had a chordoma removed from her tail, and this March she had insulinoma surgery. Mandy is not on any meds and is doing quite well. She has tons of fur, and is a good layer of body fat. She sleeps alot and can't climb the stairs, but she is in such good shape and has a good attitude. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Balonek and Dr. Williams. Thanks to you both! Oh yeah.....she's a Marshall Farms ferret!
