Minnie went to see the Vet to get her BG checked and Val said it was back up
to 100. I tryed to get a 3 1/2 hr fast in but only got about 2 hrs. She
wants to check her I think every 6 months I would have to ask again about
her because she wants to check Jesse every 3 months. But I was watching her
and she was still shacking alittle WHY if her BG is 100? she is more active
since I've been giving her more baby food every day with a little shot of
ferretone in it in the evenings. Should she still be shacking?
Also I know when a ferret is ready to go they will tell you there ready but
when should you say enough is enough when they have wasted away and all they
do is get something to eat and them snoop around for a little bit and then
go to sleep for a long time? I know there is no pain or suffering other than
the caughing but my Jesse was such a BIG boy know he's not and I watched him
this morning and he was only up for 1/2 hr and off to sleep he went. I want
him to have all the life he can have and all the love and joy he can get he
loves to go out off the porch and roll in the grass and enjoy his self and I
want him to enjoy every bit he can and I know that it's up to the owner to
say when (well they do) and I know that as long as they eat and move around
there fine but they will still waste away so when is Quality of life over?
Sorry so long but help from other ferret folk helps always when there is a
question and a need. Thank you Anna and The Fuzzy Zoo kids and the 2 at the
Bridge.
