Bonita came with her brother to us to be baby sat for about a year, while their momma got some procedures done. When we returned them to her, I had promised the owner that I would take her ferrets had anything ever happened to her. Sadly, that day came that her husband gave me a call to let us know she had passed away. We went out to go get them and they came to live with us. Bonitas brother since then has went to join his momma at the bridge. But Bonita is still going strong. She is blind in her left eye and is almost completely blind in the other eye. But it is believed she can see shadows. She is adrenal, has insulinoma, and has heart failure. This will most likely be her last Christmas. Bonita, really enjoys a warm blanket, as she struggles to get out of hammocks and beds. So we use blankets or flat beds for her. She has arthritis in her hind legs, causing her to have a harder time to grasp things. She does not really play much anymore, so she does sleep a lot. So there is not really any toy she enjoys specifically, but she does still love to eat. And she does snack on Nbones here and there when available. She eats totally ferret turkey, venison, lamb kibble. and marshalls premium ferret food. She also does eat soupie
with stella and chewy either the duck, chicken or rabbit. They also use, X-Large puppy pads, crumble paper news litter, cleaning supplies. Our kids all love rubber duckies, and crochet eggies, and Kong toys. We also can always use "Rainbow bridge blankets". These are small baby receiving blankets that we use for wrapping them in when we take them in to be helped to the bridge, or if they pass at the hospice, we will wrap their bodies in these rainbow bridge blankets to escort their remains to the vet, and once the blanket leaves our hands it gets passed on to the vet office to use on other patients who need that little extra love during the healing process. The blankets will continue to live on to care for many various animals. **At this time due to the nature of our rescue, we can not accept used items. Most of the ferrets in our care are ill, or have sicknesses or on medication that lower their immune system leaving them susceptible to many things.** |
