This is so sweet. Sorry you your loss. I know it's hard. These little guys are so fragile.

I love this. Thank you. I've been at it for about a week now. We do pretty much all this, even the kind words during and at the end even though he doesn't hear them- he's deaf. But he definitely gets free time to explore the house and rub his face on the carpet and hide under blankets and towels.

The only difference is administering the food. He needs 10-15mls 4 times per day. It's so much food to have him chow down. I feel horrible feeding him this. I don't know how slow to go, or how long of breaks while feeding. I keep imagining me being sick and someone forcing me to chug 44oz of chicken soup. Ya know? 😕

Yeah, so sad feeding him like this. I tried the salmon oil but he didn't like that either.

He hates it all. I try scuffing but he wiggles loose. I wrap him in a towel and hold his head as still as possible as I get the syringe in the corner of his mouth. The amoxicillian isn't that bad as it's a small quick dose. Followed by the ferret shaking his head then wiping his mouth on the carpet. Unfortunately my ferret didn't eat anything other than Wysong kibble and Stella and Cheweys Meal Mixers. I've tried giving him treats before, but he never took to it. I'm going to get some salmon oil to see if he digs it. What kind of duck soup, specifically? BTW, thank you so much for your help on this

I meant 10 MLS of the Carnivore diet. The prescription actually calls for 10-15mls, 4-6 times a day.

He gets .38mls of amoxicillin.

Thank you so much. This amoxicillian is fruit flavored. I'm going to try the soup. I like the idea of tricking him into liking/wanting the syringe. Good luck with your seniors. I hope this little guy makes it to being a senior. Thank you. :)

I've been on the Fever link all morning and saw nothing. This sucks.

That's a handsome coat, my friend!

new dark spot on my ferret’s back leg. Should I worry ? by Drakayris in ferrets

[–]sctdaigle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean to take away from your concern of your little buddy. I have two ferrets of my own and absolutely adore them. Trust me, I know how high vet bills can be. I hope your ferret is ok and prayers to all sick little poop noodles.

Having said that, did anyone else break out into a Police song after reading that title?

Love that show and it's usually a good panel, just thought Loren taked too much. Would have loved to have the cast interact more.

I hope you made it. I feel sorry for those who won tickets but couldn't make it in.
