Sick ferrets abound! :(

Well, been a while since I did a ferret update.
One of our ferrets was diagnosed with insulinoma a couple of months ago. Ever since we have been giving him steroids and making sure he is getting enough food by syringe feeding him a critical care slurry.
He's gotten used to that, and was doing fine for a while, but then the seizures returned, so now we are trying out a new medicine in addition to the steroids. Hoping it will work as it is expensive. (To the tune of over 230 dollars for a tiny 30 ml bottle). Starting it today so we shall see.
Our other ferret got an infection recently which required an ER visit and we are treating her with antibiotics.
I'd say over the past month, we have spent well over $600 on these little fuzzy things between all the vet visits and medicine costs. Please wish our ferrets to be happy and healthy, they certainly need it, and so does our wallet!
On other news, still working, lots... need a vacation from all this and looking forward to MFM more so than usual this time of year.
Woof out.
