Hello everybody, I hope all your fuzzies are well, I just thought I'd write and let everybody know that Sammy's doing much better now. He finally started eating on his own 2 days ago. His energy level is almost back to normal. The vet checked him over & said his perfectly healthy. My vet says, it's a miracle that he's still with us, but I say, my wonderful vet saved Sammy's life. If he hadn't discovered the toxic spleen, Sammy would be gone. He's also the one that told me about the duck soup & even found a recipe for me :) Thank you to everyone that responded & helped me :-) On another note : Dr. Bob (my vet) says Sammy has the most beautiful coat & personality that he's seen in a ferret. I know he's not an MF ferret, no tattoos. I have never had a ferret before, but a friend of mine had 2 when I was a kid. How can I find out what kind of ferret he is? Vet thinks he might be a European breed. Can someone give me any information on various breeds distinctive features? Dooks to all :) Peggy & Sammy (Raisins, where are those raisins..I know I just had one!) [Posted in FML issue 2751]
