I hope everyone is doing good this cold winter day!! All the little fuzzies having a great time playing in the white stuff. New England having their first big storm of the season. The bath tub full of snow for a great play time. I am writing about Missitoo and her ear. I use an ear wash about once a month cleaning everyones ears and to control earmites. I was doing ears yesterday and I noticed today that Missitoo's one ear is inflammed, red all around the outside. She doesn't want it touched. I haven't seen her scratch it or paw at it. It might feel warm to the touch. Any suggestions on what to put in it? Everyone is doing great here except Missitoo with her ear. Everyone has already lost their winter coats ( Spring must be coming early) and some have lost a little weight. No one has lost their appetite, everyone eats like a pig instead of a ferret. We go through about 15 pounds of TF a month. We have added Freddie to our group, that is number eight. He is MF, male, sable and thinks he is a puppy. He lays by your feet, follows you where ever you go and begs for what ever he can get. He is 5 plus pounds but very course hair. Will get soft soon with the good food! Freddie gives kisses and gets along great with everyone. He has only been here two weeks and seems like he has been here for all his 3 yr life. Thanks in advance for any suggestions on Missie's ear. Penny and back to eight fuzzies [Posted in FML issue 2599]
