Spot keeps doing VERY well on the Science Diet AD canned food for ill ferrets in a slurry with some water till pleasantly warmed. This stuff is getting better acceptance than ANY duck soup we've ever tried ( including variants of our own design -- this isn't a slam against anyone's soups ( of which there are dozens ), just a statement of happiness at how well this works) and we've been giving such things for one heck of a LOT of years! Right now he's got a new recovery toy which fits one of his most treasured patterns: a small box with doors and a stolen ( form the baby ferrets ) catnip mousie to juggle around in there. BTW, when we had lightning and hail last night the babies put out their first stinky ear musk -- from one ear each! Growing up ... We had some good news this last week: my eye pressure is in the normal range now. Looks like what we need to do is find some way to balance the needs of asthma and eyes since the meds I have to use when I am bad cause damage to the eyes. Does NOT look like we'll be expecting any treatments this year and next peripheral vision exam will safely wait 6 months! Yipee! Wish everyone could have as good fortune.
