I'm a vet tech student in Madison WI. I have 5 ferrets currently. Emma is what we call a home grown fert. She doesn't have any tattoos, F/S is 8, very faded silver mitt, almost looks like a white with black eyes. She has catarachs in both eyes and is starting to slow down. She was a shelter ferret. She's my little wrist shark. Nanook, Marshall, F/S 6 years old. She is my sweety. She eased my heart when Omar died this spring. She is an ankle shark and as a taste for pasta now and again, she to is begining to slow down. Zuet, marshall, M/N 4yr/o. He's still acts like a kit, and has a vindictive love of candy canes, or anything else peperminty. He was Omar's little understudy. Mariposa, Home made, 3 F/S. Hell on 4 legs is what we call her at home. You can actually see the trail of debris left behind her. This is one little sprite that doesn't sleep. Ever. Farfalla, HM 3 F/S. The ultimate remote stealer. We've gone through 3 in the last 6 months, he keeps them under the kitchen cabnet. I've tried chicken wire. I've tried duck tape. Anything else out there? Loves gone by:Omar, my first ferret. Hey Bob: Marshall farm, onset of clinical symptoms 3 years of age. No action taken. lived to be 6.5 years of age. Not a shelter ferret. He was given to me by my cousin who was keeping it in her bath tub and didn't like how it smelled . . . Sammy, silver mitt, died of a tumor in the intestinal tract at 8 months of age. Sasha, my sweet baby died of pancreatic cancer at 5 years of age. I really didn't mean for this to be so long. I just wanted to reintroduce all my little fuzz buts. Bye! [Posted in FML issue 2152]
