Hi all, Regina no flame taken. It's Rascal who is sick, not Ceazar.Rascal was to be my vasectomized hob, before his problems started.I pray he survives this and he will be fixed.I'm new to posting and so upset about Rascal, that I'm sure I'm not making much sense, for that I'm sorry.:)( Thanks Sukie and yes I will request the test for my Rascal, tomorrow he goes back to vet.~~Scotty, I pray you find Thunder!! I'm a lonesome Texan in CaCaLand of the f-gastapo.:) My poodle (Dew) gladly locates any missing ferts in my house,we never go outside and there is no escaping here,knock on wood,with my Dew around. He's moms' sitter on constant vigil, how he manages 12 + 1 sick Rascal is beyond me, must be poodle-ferret love!! ]:| I know I'll get flamed for this one, but I'm known for being a bull in a china cabinet anyway.HuHuHum Heather,I'm so glad you have all of the support you claim and agree with Tim and Christine. I'm isolated in CaCaLand with friends at very long distances this is my closest to reach out and touch someone and keep my sanity intack.Vets are also lonnngg distant and aren't sure about much and charge you out the yee yaa to say I don't know.I have no choice to live here, you see my husband belongs to an organization who believes they are protecting the Democracy of you and millions more like you and all these wonderful ppl here at the FML. I'm skeptical when it comes to my right of democracy and my babies!! I've become a recluse in my own home,trusting no one, neighbors petstores, I pay in cash for ferret goodies, I don't even trust the vets piss'em off if you don't agree with them and they may turn you in, out here you learn the hard and then survive. So all of you who can't deal with sad news what do you deal with? I'll take the FML any way it's served up-- even you and any more like you--- makes for interesting reading in between nursing my sick Baby Rascal. The devilish 12--- Mom Rascal won't come out help chew on your new boots! I'm comin' Rascal, now the rest of you ferts are gonna just have to wait your turn ;) Thieffie,Miji,Diamond,Mocoa,Cola,Thumper,Star,Shelby,Shasta,Ceazar,Sa'ce&Zazu. [DS]. [Posted in FML issue 1897]
