Aw, shucks, twernt nuthin maam.... Gee, I am still blushing over that one. Thank you so much for the kind words, Joell. I only tried to give you the benefit of the experience I have had to gain the hard way and by many hours dealing with sick fuzzies. (Nothing teaches you faster than that!!) I am REALLY glad that Rascal is feeling better! Hugs to Rascal and Tundra. Short shelter update... Duchess is her old self again and it is so good to see. This kid is happy no matter where she is or what is going on. The vet said she ***played with a ball*** in her cage the afternoon after the surgery. Incredible. We are trying hormone-type shots to determine if Sammy has some remaining ovarian tissue that is causing the swollen vulva, if that does not do the trick, we will do an ultra-sound to look for an adrenal tumor. (No hair loss.) So Sammy has PMS for now. That is really a sight. I keep her by herself now so she does not drive her cage mates batty. Ally has completely recovered from her eye problem and is gaining weight daily. Festus is even FATTER, thanks to all the wonderful Totally Ferret Food sent by a very dear friend of the fuzzies. I still miss Cocoa terribly, but seeing these ones doing so much better helps my spirits. Gotta run, more fuzzy-business to attend to...(pun intended). Kisses to all the furry-children.
