Prayers needed for my ferret

One of my ferrets, Eldon, seems to be having a relapse of his illness. I'm having to nurse him hourly to get food and water in him. Any prayers, good thoughts, or vibes sent his way would be VERY much appreciated. He's such a sweet little guy. Thanks.

*Sends Prayers* hopefully someone will answer these prayers! Get well Eldon

Give Eldon some extra snuggles and kisses from me.

((((((((((((((Eldon)))))))))))))))

Thanks guys. I've called the ferret shelter several times for guidance but I've not gotten a call back yet. He's taking food and water but he's awfully weak. For those of you that know about ferrets, Eldon has adrenal disease and insulinoma. My understanding of insulinoma in ferrets is like hypoglycemia in humans. If he doesn't eat, he gets very sick. Either way, I'm terribly worried about him. If there's a ferret owner out there that's got advise to offer my ears are open.

Ry

My prayers, good wishes and love for animals are with him.
I hope he'll feel better soon.
I always wanted to get a ferret but when the guy at the pet store told me their life span is like 3-4 years, I talked myself out of it, I love them though
I have 2 dogs (my girls) and they both keep my on the go, but when one or the other take ill, I'm their personal nurse and dog mom.
I bet you are a perfect pet parent

Lots of love,

((((((Eldon))))) and (((((((Ryan)))))) Prayers for both of you. Love ya.

Saying a prayer for Eldon and for you.

Am thinking of you and Eldon. Hugs to both of you.

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.

Ry...did you delete your avatar and signature? I'm not seeing those cute ferret faces now.

Sky, I did delete them. Not sure why I did, but they're gone now.

Ry

BTW, those that know me know that my little fuzzbutts are my entire world... so yall know just how much this little guy means to me. I've shed more tears for him today than I have for anything in a long time. But with all yall's prayers and good thoughts, I'm sure that he'll pull through. At least I'm hoping he will.

Ry

You're a good ferret mommy! I've been through the hand feeding too, when my cats and dog were sick. Sending hugs and kisses Eldon's way!

I don't know you but I hope and pray he is O.K. Sometimes God calls them home and sometimes he loans them longer ..I hope you have a lot longer time with him

Hey Ry, did you and Eldon make it through the night ok?

Yeah sky. Eldon seems to be doing a little better today. He's had his morning meds and a few spoons of baby food.

Ry

Ryan,

I've never even spent time with a ferret, until now I was even pretty sure I'd be scared of them. But reading your words very much touches me. I'm reminding of caring for my ill cat, how much tears I shed.
Thank you for sharing this with us, even in the enormity of what you are going through.
All our prayers and best wishes are with you and your sweet grumpy Eldon. Hope you get a chance to rest and comfortably collapse soon.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Ry and Eldon}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I'm so glad your hard work has paid off for Eldon. Watching our little one, it's not much different than having a child, is it?

Hope he continues to improve.

my thoughts are with you, i know how tough this must be. have a private ferret rescue in my home for over ten years. this is the last stop for the little ones that come my way. and it is always hard when they are sick. have learned to tube feed, cpr, shots and many other things. this loves are my life and sometimes my sanity.

hi ryan..........please let us know how the little guy is doing today............also so glad to hear from you...love always..julia

You got it! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Eldon}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Ryan,
I am not sure what to write other then I am praying for you and your little ferret. Our family has 4 ferrets. 2 we took in because they were abused. Please remember that all your loving care makes your ferret feel better. They are very social animals and want to be loved, which you have already shown to have a lot of love for yours. He/She is a very lucky ferret.
