Hi! I have been a "lurker" on this list since I started getting it. But, I have a little question that just popped into my head that I thought I should ask. I adopted a new "baby" ferret about 2 weeks ago. Well, he isn't a baby, he is a little more than 2 years old! <G> He had a check up before I got him, and was told he got a clean bill of health. I took him (Samson) to the vet last week to get his stiches out (he was fixed), and she (vet) checked him over, but he didn't get any blood work done. I have read that ferts over 2 should get blood tests run at their check-ups. Samson is going in next week for his rabies shot, so, my question is this. Should I have them give him some blood tests, to make sure everything is fine? I called to ask the vet's opinion, but she is at some conference until this weekend, so that was a dead end. And if you remember, please try to keep Samson in your prayers/thoughts. He has had diarreha for a week now, and it seems to be getting worse. I took in a stool sample today, and get the results tomorrow. Also, I have recently moved to NY, and was wondering where I can get purchase Totally Ferret. I have been having my mom send it to me, but the supply is getting low, and the ferts are going to be angry with me if I don't get more. <G> I am in Poughkeepsie, and am willing to travel about an hour for it. I know that I can get it on Long Island, but that is a long drive for me. Hug your fuzzies for me! Dooks and Bucks (what my SO and I call their noises) from the ferts! **************************************************************************** ~Jaymi + 4~ "Not now, I'm eating."~Leroy "I may be tiny, but I can kick your fuzzy butt!"~Petra "I am 'Rubber Band Ferret'.
