First off I want to thank everyone that is surfing on eyegive (eyegive.com) for FFS. We are earning $5.11 each day that everyone surfs! That is fantastic!! The more people surf the more money we earn for the upcoming surgeries. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It really helps. Yesterday I had this urge to find Sharptooth. The ferrets that share my home are free roam and we have this special bond. When something is wrong I sense it and if they can, they come to me when they aren't feeling well. When I got home last night I searched for Sharptooth. I finally found her and she would not move her shoulder area. Her back feet had feeling and she would scoot backwards with her hips up but her shoulder area was on the ground and I got no response when pushing and gently rotating the front arms. I could not feel anything out of place and she did not squirm or object to being massaged. I thought it might be an injury from falling off the fridge or from PUMKIN (he shook her yesterday morning and has been caged most of the time since and when I can't directly supervise him). She ate well and eliminated normally. Stools and urine looked normal. I contacted our vet and we decided it did sound like an injury. I started her on Pediapred and 1/8 of a baby aspirin (on a full tummy). We checked her several times throughout the evening and she seemed more comfortable. This morning when I took her out of the cage for cleaning (Pumkin was in his own cage) and medicating she walked upright with her shoulder area just a bit closer to the ground. She was feeling a bit better than last night so I think we are on the right track. Our vet is on alert that we may be coming in at any time if she doesn't improve or gets worse (haven't seen him in a couple weeks anyway). Hugs to all. tle (whose right shoulder has been aching for two days....) [Posted in FML issue 2400]
