Hi guys! I've just heard about two fuzzies from Utah who need new homes. The girl (Sarah) who owns them is shifting, and the apartment where she is moving to will *not* allow her to keep her two little sprites. Her sister wanted the little fuzzies, but isn't able to due to her SO's violent allergies :o( The message her sister has sent was to a chat line about ferrets, and is as follows: >I was very interested to find this topic because my sister has two ferrets. >They are both females and their names are Shea (she is almost two) and Noel >(she is six months - I think) Shea recently had some health problems she >became very lethargic and her hair started falling out and her "parts" >bacame swollen. Naturally my sister, Sarah, became very concerned and too >her to the vet. Shea had a bladder infection and was malnourished because >the new baby is son demanding and dominant she wasn't getting to eat >properly. The vets cure for this problem was to separate them at night and >feed them separately along with giving Shea a small amount of liver every >night and Noel a portion once a week. The vet advised Sarah that this was >a good idea because even some ferret foods don't have a high enough protien >and iron content for ferrets to be properly cared for. Sarah has >encountered one more problem she lives in a small town in Utah and has had >to move apartments and may have to get rid of her ferrets and she can't >handle the thought of have them euthenized. Does anyone know of someone >looking for well loved ferrets in the southern Nevada or southern Utah area >that may want to adopt these little darlings, though it breaks my heart to >have to ask that question and puts me in near tears. If you do or have any >suggestions or comments feel free to write to me at the listed email >address or I'll try to figure out how I found my way to this location >again. Thanx! Dena To any that can reply, they can e-mail the girls sister (Dena) at [log in to unmask] As you may be able to tell, Dena is heartbroken at the thought of the fuzzies leaving, and Sarah (owner) feels the same. Any responses sent to me ([log in to unmask]) I will pass along for them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, and your help Sam [Posted in FML issue 1917]
