Georgie, came to us July 4th 2020. He was rescued with his sister from a lady that starved them and left them in a cage to die. We drove out to Maryland to go pick Georgie with his sister Betsy. They were starved to death, it was too late for Georgie's sister Betsy. We did make an attempt to save her anyway we could, but she passed peacefully next to Georgie as he slept. As if she knew it was okay for her to leave now because he was safe. Georgie was on the verge of dying as well. But with starvation refeeding schedule, IV fluids, and tons and tons of care and love he pulled through. He became our class clown. He was always up to something and had a personality to boot. He made so many attempts at stealing food, and drinks. He has aged nicely, but now fights adrenal disease, and insulinoma along with cardiomyopathy. This will be his last Christmas on this earth. He loves a flat warm bed, he still enjoys eating anything and everything he can. Including N bones, Bandit treats, as much soup as his little heart desires, and due to some of his medication he does eat alot more than a typical ferret. He eats totally ferret turkey, venison, lamb kibble. and Marshalls premium ferret food. He 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.** |
