Sparky came home tonight from Cottage Veterinary (Thank you again Linda Soule). He only had an adrenal tumor on the left. Dr. Ruth is sending the tumor in to check it for cancer. Dr. Ruth Adams said everything went real smooth and she didn't think the tumor looked cancerous. She tried to feed him some chicken and he would have no part of it. (Sparky doesn't like anything that resembles a live animal ) When I got him home, I gave him some ground Totally Ferret mixed with diluted Ensure. At first he would only lick it off my finger and then finally lapped up some from his bowl. He used his litter box and then crawled into his sleep sack. I have him in a cage by himself and his 3 fuzzy friends are being quiet in their cage. They seem to know Sparky needs to recuperate. When I let them out briefly, they were not raising the usual ruckus and climbing all over the spare cage. The only bad news was the procedure cost $696.21. (ouch!! But worth it) Mom was right, I should have been a vet..... Thanks again to all of you for all of your advice throughout Sparky's & my crisis.
