Binky's still doing great,remember hard time breathing was told she had pneumonia,inside organs pushed upto her lung. Some live removed and panceas.
Was told she had hepitius and pacreatitus.
She was put on metrodiazole and Amox.
She was rushed back due to breathing again,was put on Enalapril (for her heart0 and Furosemide (Lasix).
The Met..and amox are done with but she's still taking the heart pill and lasix.i have watched her go from laying to now doing ferrety things we take for granted,simple stretching after waking/rubbinhg her mouth after eating A/D..Its those simple things that brought us so much joy to see her once again do..Thank you all for your prayers.
She is doing Awesome!
**************************************
Megan:
She is the one who got the band surgery cuz her adrenal gland was really close and under the vena cava.
We gave her A/D she didn't eat as much as i wanted her too and she just wanted to sleep.
Hubby came home and he said she's dying. (its ok to keep reading)
We took her to the vet,she was BAD.
The vet said we have options,I said Options?
We thought she was going to be helped over the bridge but NO.
He Subq'ed her and gave her a IV steroid,he said she should perk up
He said that he didnt want to keep her there cuz IF she passed away she'd be alone.
He said he's seen this in ferrets where both adrenals had been removed,so she came home and she got 0.3 pred and A/d this ferret is amazing mow she is walking all over the place and when you set her down,she does that little ferret shake to get every hair in place :)
Sometimes she still looks odd but after she gets her meds she's ok ..
So i just wanted to give you all a great update....
God is so good!!!
