Hi, Yesterday, I received a call from my vet. She said someone was looking for Ferret Rescue. My vet took the lady's name and phone number and relayed it to me. I called the lady last night. She (the lady) decided the ferrets weren't getting enough attention. Would I pick them up? The lady asked if I would do it when the children were in school today. At 8:15, I arrived to pick up the furkids. Sad sight, skin and bones, nails needed cutting. The ferret environment: 2 school age children, 1 toddler, Mom expecting another in May, 1 cat, and 1 dog. The cage was kept in a bathroom (not being used I assume) The cage barely fit in the area. I was not able to see the cage. I did see that the ferrets were sleeping in the corner litter pan on the top layer. Thank the Lord they are with me. I put them in a cage with a food dish. Soon had to put a second one to prevent a fight for the dish. They now have food, water, nails clipped, given a dose of FerretVite. What's next? The vet exam is scheduled for 8 AM. Thursday. Poop sample, Vitamin B shot, distemper shots, and maybe deworming, and whatever my vet recommends. Any suggestions on names? Chanel Ferret [Posted in FML issue 2617]
