THanks to ALL who responded so quickly to my emergency. The ferret is eating and drinkiing great. The hard abdomen is gone and he is pooping fine. He is under close observation for now, and if necessary surgery may be performed. Thanks again. I can't tell you how much you've all helped me. Thank you, thank you. (I've tried to email you all to thank you personally, but it seems I have yet to learn how to send mail to more than one person at a time ;), so if you haven't received a thank you email from me, please know that I tried and I really do thank you!) -- Elizabeth Luc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2137]
