Hi everyone!  Remember me?  I have a ferret with adrenal problems that I
didn't know how I could afford the surgery.  I posted last fall.  I got
lots of responses, good ideas, and great people out there!  Well Franky
had his surgery a few days ago.  It was the RIGHT adrenal gland that was
affected! :-0  So I hope things turn out all right for Franky.  He seems to
be convalescing ok.  What I have encountered is the lack of support I get
from people around me that wouldn't pay that kind of money, when you don't
really have the money, for a ........pet?  And then I have to drive a long
distance for proper serious care.  In Iowa nobody, that I know, really does
it cause no body brings their ferret in for help?  So ....no opportunity?
You can go to the vet school but they are really expensive.  I had to do
much calling to find a vet for the surgery.  One even backed out at the
last minute.  And that is ok....I wouldn't want someone who didn't think
they could do it.  All in all I just hope Franky gets better.  There is a
definite need for moral support with these fuzzies when times get tough.
That is why I belong to this list. :-)  Hug your fuzzies for me.
