Hi All! I wanted to tell you about the experience that I had with my ferret, Blizzard, and my doctor's appointment. About two years ago, Alaska, my second ferret had had adrenal surgery. I was staying up and nursing him day and night trying to help him get better after the surgery. My vet. had given him maybe a year to live and I wanted to do everything I could to help him have that year. To say the least, I was very, very tired. I tripped in my apartment and broke my big toe. Because I was under the impression that nothing could be done for the toes, I simply wrapped it and continued to care for Alaska. That toe has hurt off and on for the past two years and about two months ago became infected. After a couple of tries, my doctor told me that he was going to have to in and clean out the infection. Well, because I have this thing about my feet, I asked if I could bring one of my ferrets. My doctor agreed and Blizzard stayed with me during the minor surgery. Blizzard was wonderful. She was the best ambassador for the ferret world that she could be. She quietly stayed in my lap and kissed my hand during the procedure. My doctor was so impressed, that he had to take her and show her to everybody in the office. She got the grand tour! She even impressed the courier that had just stopped into the office. I know that this was a long story, but I think that Blizzard, and any ferret, is worth bragging about. Ferrets are the absolute best!
