Dare I Hope...?

We're going to be putting Mojo on piroxicam - the shelter where I adopted him from has had luck in the past with this drug prolonging the lives of ferrets with carcinomas. It's an anti-inflammatory, and it should help with any pain he's having. At the very least it should make him a little more comfortable, even if it doesn't keep him around longer. That's all I can hope for at this point.

Cheeba is back on ulcer meds. He's started grinding his teeth, and I saw a pretty dark poop yesterday. He's just happy because it means he gets Gerber Chicken & Chicken Gravy Baby food three times a day! It's somewhat difficult giving him the carafate, as it can interfere with the pred. So I have to give the carafate either 1 hour before or 2 hours after the pred. So far so good though!



Today's ferret tip is make friends in the ferret community, and not just so you get more Christmas cards! Knowing more people that have ferrets means that you have more knowledge at your fingertips. There is always something about your ferrets that you can learn, and, as with Mojo, sometimes it can really help you and your fuzzies out! Don't know where to start?
