"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

Happy 2nd Birthday Elsie, It was nice running into you guys today at the fair. Hope you had a blast!!!

Another Kodo Update :(

The Vet called me Saturday afternoon with Kodo's blood test results. We were informed that she is anemic, her blood cell count is low and it looks like she might have Kidney failure. They want me to bring her in this week to have an XRay done to see if thay can't find any tumors. If nothing shows up on the XRay then they will have to do a biopsy to see what the problem is. Chances still are that she has cancer.

On a lighter note: "SCHYLER AT PLAY"

Schyler has been in NY this past week and he will be here for approx 2 more weeks. We have all been having a blast. Below is a pic of Schy while he was playing with his Power Rangers on his slide a couple days ago.

Kodo Update

I spoke with the Vet Office today. They wil have her blood work results tomorrow. They said they will call me between 8-12:30 with her results. My fingers are crossed, though I expect/ preparing myself for the worst.

Vet visit with Kodo :( Pending results?

Today I had an appointment for Kodo (my ferret) at the Vet. She has been pretty sick. She has lost most of her weight and is just skin and bones now, also she has been walking with a wobble and yesterday we noticed that she has a large, hard mass on her belly. The Veternarian informed us that her Spleen is swollen/infected (hence the large hard mass). It is swollen at least 3 inches in length and approx 2 in width, it is pretty bad. Also she has a fever and runny nose. Chances are she has cancer :( They took her blood to test for cancer and we should have the results by Tuesday at the latest. (cancer and tumors are common in ferrets as they age). They had to take her blood through her neck so they had to shave some of her fur away on her neck, we were told to be careful around her neck due to bruising from the needles. If the tests come back negative for cancer then they have to biopasy her spleen to see what the problem might be. Right now I have her seperated from the others so I can monitor her eating and potty, also so the others don't stress her out and possibly rupture her spleen. I am feeding her chicken baby food per the vet to help her gain some weight back, and she is also on amoxicillin to help with the fever/infection. I broke out in tears a few times today including while I was at the vet, She is about 4 1/2 yrs old now and I knew that ferrets have problems as they get older I just didn't expect it so soon. We plan to have the others tested this summer, especially her birth sister Podo since they carry the same genes. As of right now both Podo and Knod seem to be in good health. Well thanks for Reading. Cassie.



Poor old girl confined to a plastic tote for the time being. She has never been w/o the company of the other ferrets :(

HAPPY B-DAY

Milly Outside

I took Milly outside. It's funny cause last summer when I had her outside she would not allow herself to touch the grass, she wanted nothing to do with it. This year she just can't get enough of it.
