We had two ferrets come in from a farm, the boy was very ill and was PTS with Lymphoma the girl pictured above had a discharge from the back end we decided to get our vet to operate and he found lots of stones in her bladder as you can see, picture above right, she is looking much happier, and who wouldn't be, she is called Sharon

The picture above is Elvis he came from Ivy lodge vets and has a broken pelvis, he is dragging his back legs around but the vet says its because of the pain not due to paralyses we will just have to see how he does.

Picture above left is Jojo, she is eight years old and found herself on the brink of death her owner had been very ill for some time, so she had not been held and did not like being handled then her owner had an heart attack which they survived, so the family decided to have Jojo put to sleep.

Jojo was waiting at the vets to be put to sleep when the nurse said she knew someone that may take her, made the call, she said she would take her because she knew someone that would tame Jojo, this is where Dennis got involved, he is holding her in the picture after working on her she is much better at being handled, it was agreed that Jojo will stay with Dennis, someone gave him the cage in the picture above right because she will not go in with other ferrets and Ferret Friends will pay for any vet bills because of her age, so for Jojo it was a very happy ending.
