Updates on the four ferrets

Rufus the ferret has gained some weight! He now weighs more than his cage mates; Pheobe , Crimson and Dominic. He received a Lupron shot at the vet to help alleviate some of the symptoms of his adrenal disease. It will take away the awful itching and he may grow some fur back. Although the shot will not stop the progression of the adrenal disease, it will help him feel more comfortable. I wish so much that his adrenal tumor could be removed. We would do anything to make him better. We do understand that the tumor is inoperable. If Dr.T even attempted to remove it, Rufus wouldn't make it. Our focus now it to keep Rufus well fed, loved , happy and comfortable.
Dominic is doing fabulous after his tail and tumor removal. He has so much energy and spunk. He has healed quickly and I already see some fuzzy fur growing back in where he was shaved for the surgery. We will get him vaccinated very soon and have him adoptable.
Crimson and Pheobe are scheduled for their adrenal surgeries on June 20th. I have high hopes that they will have successful surgeries and they will then be completely healthy after they recover from surgery. We would also like to adopt out Crimson and Dominic together. They are play and wrestling buddies!
Please help us with the expenses of surgeries and care for these four fabulous ferrets. Please click on the Chipin we have provided and donate. They are truly wonderful. Thank you for helping us to help them :)
