Subject: enlarged stomach with IBD (possible need for longer fast
times befoire surgery)

Scooter is doing better after two rough days and his test results
will be in tonight and tomorrow.

I thought that others might find it interesting that I heard from
someone else who has a ferret who developed an enlarged
stomach with IBD and she also has food pool for unusually long
periods in her stomach as well. That may be interesting for two
reasons:
1. academically
2. because IBD ferrets may be safest with longer times between
feeding and anesthesia than other ferrets. Scooter still has food
slush in his last time about 8 hours after food.

We'll appreciatge having ful nights of sleep tonight. Had three
hours or four hours last night with him.
