This is Susie Lee in, of and for The Ferret & Dove Sanctuary, Inc.

The main reason for this message is for both of us as well as all
the ferrets, doves, cats and et cetera to thank all the kindly folks
(including some of you good people!) who sent us wonderful cards of
appreciation for our shelter's ongoing work for ThanksGiving. Just
the very day-before we took in yet another ferret-waif grown old and
delicate whom I've gotten pics of but is not yet on our Petfinder's
page, at least not until he's put some much needed weight on his
thinned bones and doesn't get tired out after just a few happy
bounces...he's a lovely old chocolate mitt named George Of The
Jungle Ferret (we'd already had a George Washington Ferret and it
was the first other "good-guy" George i could come up with to "round
out" his name with and keep it unique from other george-named
ferrets :) and also we've gotten notice from yet another military
family who will be surrendering their two ferrets this coming
weekend before their own transfer, which we have already managed to
make room for them.

Two are on the dietary insulinoma treatment (regular meals every
four hours thru most of the day with a six-hr night-time stretch
between their last meal and next-first one) until they might need
the prednisolone. We have some liquid-suspension prednisolone thanks
to our veterinarian calling in a prescription for this to our
pharmacy in the ferret's name to my account. This was a terrific
brainstorm of an idea suggested by the vet, himself because they can
no longer get Pediapred, so now we have what's basically the
equivalent in a not-bad-tasting and easy to measure and give formula
for any of the ferrets that need it.

And that's the news from The Ferret & Dove Sanctuary, take care, all!
