Potpie, my Path Valley ferret, has had odd suspicious symptoms for the past year or so that a few vets have remarked look like adrenal cancer, but she's remained in constant and good health for that time. However, she also had a nasty bout with ECE and is 3.5 yrs old, so i'm keeping a close eye on everything. She goes back in for a blood panel this August with Friday, a MF ferret who had an adrenal removed at 1.5 yr and who will also be getting bloodwork done - eeech! expensive! Anyway, hopefully Potpie won't be your first Path Valley statistic, Pam. Rolling-over update: Noodle continues to look excited about the prospect of getting treats for letting me roll him over. Sigh. Started rolling him halfway over and about 30% of the time he finishes, which is a good sign, but that little expectant look of his is sooo cute still.. Potpie, on the other hand, is picking the trick right up - all i have to do is gently push her flat and nudge her one way and she rolls right over. This, after two lessons. Dorks :) Melissa, Potpie, Friday, Noodle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Melissa Litwicki "Is it ... atomic?" [log in to unmask] "Yes! VERY atomic!"
