Hello Chris
Thanks for the advice about feeding Pheobe. I tried the fatty mince but i
had to hand feed it to her and she wasn't keen!!. I eventually tried her
with chicken livers and raw chicken. She loved the livers for 2 days but
then refused then as well!!. We have got to the point where we think we are
being cruell keeping her going likr this as she has trouble getting up her
ramp now to her bed and has been sleeping near her food and water (i made
her a nest from shredded paper and a jumper). She is going to the vet again
tomorrow and to be honest i think it will be a one way trip!!!!!!!!!!!!
:{ BOOOOOO. We did manage to find a good supplier for Ferret Tone and
Ferret Vite in the end and can pass on info to anyone living in Essex who
has the same trouble finding stuff for Ferrets. I will let you know the out
come from tomorrow.
Once again thanks for your help. But if saw her at the moment i would
report her as an abuse case!!!!.
EVER HOPEFUL
Paul & Family
