Maceo update, more duck soup

I spoke with the vet this afternoon, Maceo went through the surgery just fine. When I talked to her around 4, he was just waking up. I was so worried about him - not because of the surgery, but because I knew he would be waking up in a new place without anyone he knows. He has some separation anxiety issues, and I hope he's not too upset. I can't wait to have him home tomorrow night! The house feels so empty and strange without my cat around...

I made some more duck soup tonight, changed the recipe somewhat. Last time it had a lot of kibble in it - this time it was much more chicken. (4 lbs of chicken, and only 2 1/2 cups of kibble) I'm trying to get them to the point where I can actually give them plain chicken and they'll eat it. I doubled the recipe this time too, since last time I made it it lasted about 1 1/2 weeks. I think they'll like it. Seeing as how ferrets are carnivores, I'm sure something that tastes more like chicken will be yummier for them. I'm easing them into it slowly though, so as not to upset their stomachs and cause diarrhea. I can't believe how soft their coats are getting, even with the heat on. Usually in the winter their coats get rougher. The duck soup is really making a difference.
