Well, I finally got through to the shelter. Turns out that the amount of food and water I've been able to give Eldon is more than enough to sustain him. He ate a jar and a half of baby food with me and when he was nursing at the shelter, was only taking a half jar a day. The shelter mom suggested that I give him an additional dosage of his meds tonight and double his meds tomorrow. She seems to think that he'll be ok and said that I did well today. I thought that it was in his best interest to go back to the shelter tonight but the shelter mom thinks he'll be better off in my care since he's used to me now. Eldon is peacefully sleeping right now and hopefully will sleep through the night since he's just plain exhausted. Poor little guy. The other ferrets are snuggling with him right now. I think he feels all the love that this house has to offer and I hope that he finds the will to fight through this. I just don't know what I'd do without my little grumpy guy. Thanks for the prayers and hugs. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
