Hello, I just got the great news from my vet this morning, the official aleutian disease test came back negative! I kept telling myself, as rare as it was, the chances were very slim, it was just that every symptom matched up perfectly. I am still not completely out of the woods yet, I still have to figure out what Dawson and Fifi have, and they are not coming out of quarrantine until I am 100% sure. But, I have not killed all of my own fuzzies by running the shelter, and a giant weight has been lifted off of my chest. This past week, I have not been able to sleep or relax wondering if I brought something in that would kill every fuzzy I have tried so hard to help. I have also learned quite a bit about aleutian disease in the meantime, and I am not so sure that it is in fact all that rare, or even all that deadly. But that is another story. Suffice to say, I can now breathe easier again. Thank you sooo much to everyone that called or e-mailed me.
