I'm sending this out to the rescue list, a list of individuals, & the FML, so I apologize if any of you received more than 1 copy. I wanted to hit as many people, as quickly as possible. Dear All Knowing Ferret Friends, WHEELS I just had a foundling turned into me that seems to have some kind of mobility problem. By the look of his teeth, his body tone, & his beautiful luxurious coat, he appears to only be about a year old. And he's an absolute sweetheart. He wasn't walking w/his back legs at all initially & was given a cortisone shot which did seem to help w/the mobility. His walks pretty well w/assistance, but his body doesn't seem to be receiving the necessary signals from his brain. He tries so hard to wardance, but twists & stiffens kind of like someone w/cerebral palsy who know what he wants to do but doesn't have control of his muscles. He seem perfectly normal except for his strange contortions. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, eats very well, & has perfect 'output'. His x-ray didn't show any kind of spinal or cranial trauma, although that's what the vet (not my vet) thinks the problem is. There were no outward signs of any trauma at all, no abrasions, punctures, or bruises. He's going to see my vet this weekend. I'm interested in one of those little carts for him. I've seen them used for Doxies, which are basically the same shape as these little guys. Have any of you ever used one? Do you know the company that produces them? Do they make them small enough for these little guys? Might you know where I can get one used? Any idea of what they cost? Being supported unencumbered will allow him to work his legs more. I think that this will afford him the best opportunity for a full recovery. Plus Pauley <grin> does like to get around. So even if he doesn't fully recover, I'd like to see him have the best quality of life he possibly can. My best wishes for those who have had loved ones cross Rainbow Bridge & for all of you who unselfishly open your heart & your home to fuzzies who have no one else.
