But I'm not so sure it's all her doing. This morning she was not eating or drinking, she just wants to sleep<br/>and be by her self. I've been<br/>giving her baby food and started her on my herbal mix It's pretty<br/>potent stuff. all my ferrets are on it and they do really well.<br/>It's helping her a little. We will just have to wait and see, If she doesn't improve she will go to the vet. poor baby, She's had such a<br/>rough life, and she was doing so well. It's time to feed her again<br/>so I'll check in tomorrow. Hopefully she will show some improvement by then. Hey Nona

It really is horrible when ferrets get sick – I always feel so impotent when I know there’s nothing that I can do. I lost Snoopy to lymphoma last year just weeks after Otis died from DIM and it still hurts.

My fingers are crossed that Shin will have the best quality of life under the circumstances.

I’m looking forward to hearing about how she’s getting on health-wise but I know she’ll be a whole lot better in no time with you guys looking after her!

The names of my other ferrets are are Muis (albino) & Kahlua (silvermitt) both born in 2002 and, of course, Angus and Seamus, my naughty young boys.

I just wasn't sure how many<br/>you now have. what are the other<br/>three names?<br/>AS for my zoo crew as of this morning i picked up another one, a silversmit, a little girl 6-8 months old. my wife named her Juliann. SHE was dropped off at the pet store filthy and covered in fleas so bad she was missing fur in patches. The girl didn't want her because she smelled bad!! hooo that makes me so mad. Carrel the owner of the pet store had her in quarantine for a month. HER fur<br/>is coming back now and she is doing better. i met her yesterday<br/>and now i have 4. she is a doll,<br/>she gives lots of kisses and even wraps her little arms and feet around your arm leg and neck to hug you, very sweet. she fits right in with the others too. <br/>SHE is thrilled to have a home.<br/>SHE still has aways to go health wise so I'll be giving you up dates on Juliann as well. I got my hands full all ready, but she needed a home and i just couldn't say no. i remember you telling me about
them. I just wasn’t sure how many
you now have. what are the other
three names?

I used to help out with the rescue service, etc, so had a lot of ferrets living in the house while they were waiting to be rehomed.
