Hi, This morning I took Mandy to see a vet for her
baldness. She looks like she has a mohawk. Our vet
(who raises ferrets so I think he's very
knowlegeable), did a good phyical on our little girl.
He agreed she is blind, can feel masses all over her
little body, her lymph glands on her neck are quite
swollen, and her heart rate is very eratic. Because of
her age 7 and her overall condition he has decided not
to do anything medical wise for her except for
ammoxicillin hoping that will calm things down. Last
nite she slept with me and she whined and cried almost
all nite, but he doesnt think shes in any pain
because her heart rate is low. There is no fever. I
really dont know what to do right now but cuddle her
and keep a close eye on her. We lost Barney right
before Christmas and I'm really not ready to let her
go. Oh I also lost My Sister and brother in law since
Barney died, so theres alot of grief here already. Any
ideas on how to make her comfortable until its time to
let her go? Sorry this is so long, but I'm really
beside myself tonite. Thank you, Kathie from Saukville Wisconsin
