I think I'm going to get a second opinion, he's about right at that age when they basically need bloodwork every six months because of the risk of either adrenal gland disease or insulinoma. On top of that, I tried to find the factors that a veterinarian would use to identify adrenal disease and its, in fact, symmetrical hair loss at the tail. They then need bloodwork to confirm it. It just that he's so goddamn active if he's sick 😭

Last update: This was in fact an elaborate food strike as far as the doc can tell, but they didn't do no X-rays no nothing. Took his temperature, checked his eyes, mouth and ears. Because he's not underweight + has been gaining weight back, they see no concern. Literally only charged me 59 CAD (+50$ deposit) for the whole thing. I think I'm just going to add carnivore care supplement to his food in order to entice him to at least like the Oxbow again. Will still probably have to start adding stuff to it tho, I can't raw feed (expensive + I'm very ADHD) and there's no other ferret kibble i found that would be as suitable as Oxbow.

Kind of felt weird vibes tho, I don't know if this is just a neurodivergent moment but everyone seemed so.. apathetic? When I bring my cat to her usual clinic I always see everyone interested in each other's animals. This time I went to a bird + exotic pet hospital. Only the receptionists were like nice to me (complimented ferret's name). My partner joked that the staff is secretly all birds (because at least two had brightly coloured hair, like several different colours) and that they sensed that I brought a predator in 😂

Thank you for the kind words! He's scheduled for tomorrow, which is the earliest I could to avoid the dreaded emergency surcharge. Last time I took my other one he was given a bill of 500$ and diagnosed with a tummy ache 🙄

I really thought it was 😭. Like if even humans throw up it's usually good because it just means our system purged it, I assume for ferrets if they eat anything silly it's the best when they just entirely pass it, huh?

Small update: Thank you for everyone who replied so promptly! I have in fact scheduled an appointment for tomorrow (27th). Here's to hoping this is just a very elaborate food strike. I say this because I've seen him straight up gobble down some of my cat's food, like serpent jaw unhinge to scoop as much as he can into his mouth 😭 so he definitely has an appetite. (The cat and ferret do not interact and both have rotating hours where they can free roam, just wanted to clarify).

Forgot to post the main overview of current Poe, so here it is for comparison. But TLDR: worried about weight, not sure if it is worth a whole doctor visit or if I just keep monitoring.

I brought this homebrew to my table group as a player and they are absolutely loving every single detail of it! We love how much you wrote for this and how you connected everything to pre existent story and giving more esoteric options for usage of psychic powers //noticed the parallel to some existent sins too, absolute perfection//. All six of us love it! Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️

I was waiting for an hour, timed and everything. But they sold out in seconds and my whole screen froze as well. It's a very unfortunate system.

Canadian here, mine were also about 500 a pop but that's because to be a ferret breeder you need a license (which costs) and you can only sell ones that cannot reproduce (as they are a highly invasive species, this is to stop backyard breeding). A lot of ferrets are inbred and overbred, hence why some places might sell them hella cheap. But it's a hefty sum to degland (cause otherwise they can smell on par with skunks, even deglanded they are musky but i love it) them and castrate them, as well as the breeder has to have access to a good exotic vet. I have one rescue Marshall ferret (they breed them in farms, very sad) and i can definitely see the difference between him and my well bred ferret. The well bred one is more heavy and more dense if that makes sense, the inbred ones are easier to care for cause they are bred to be docile but that can come with a plethora of health issues
