Welcome these two to the rescue! Butters is a four year old ch*****ne male with obvious adrenal disease. He's more of a liad back and chill ferret. Hazel is a five year old black sable female also with adrenal disease. She is very active and playful.

New home pending!
This little cutie is in Monroe NC (near Charlotte). She needs a home ASAP. A young man contacted me about her after saving her from a neglect situation. He explained he can barely take care of himself financially but just couldn't leave this girl where she was. I sent him money for food. She has fleas and he's getting flea medication this weekend. She's eating well and quite active. She does have adrenal disease. I'll give her a free implant if you want to bring her here (Acworth GA). She's about four year old and free to a good home. There is an adoption process.

Does anyone in the Charlotte NC area have any flea medication a guy can use on a ferret he rescued. I'm trying to get the ferret into a home or here, but she needs flea treatment before then.

Well, Cheddar went downhill again last night. Poor baby. He's back to pudding diarrhea and going immediately after eating. This indicates there's something wrong with the intestinal tract. At this point, I'm thinking cancer. However, we're going ahead and treating for Helicobacter Mustelae and inflammatory bowel disorder. Below is his current treatment plan.
Sub-q fluids 2 x day
Prednisilone .25 ml 2 x day
Benebac 1/8 tsp 3 x day
C*D oil .3 ml 2 x day
Slippery Elm .5 ml 2 x day (use for 10 days only, then skip a day)
Metronidazole gel 2 x day on both ears
Amoxicillin .5 ml 2 x day
Pepto Bismol .3 ml 2 x day
Poopin Pumpkin - pinch in soup 3 x day
Soup only every four hours, except at night. Then softened food overnight.

Mozie was adopted in August and returned Monday because three ferrets was too much for the family. He immediately fell back into his usual manic routines! Christel Himes came today to find a ferret to go with two year old Minaco, a ferret she adopted from here earlier this year. She was quite active and energetic. We all felt she fit Mozie's personality and energy level very well. So, Mozie was adopted to go with Minaco!

Thanks to Lulu Lee for holding a birthday fundraiser for Kindness Matters Ferret Rescue! These birthday fundraisers not only raise funds, they raise awareness of the rescue and let me know people care about what I do here. This is appreciated so much! Does anyone want to donate a couple of $ to get this one started?!

Update on five year old Cheddar. He came in Sunday in pretty rough shape with severe diarrhea, malnutrition, dehydration, pr*****ed re**um, swelling around the p***s and advanced adrenal disease that isn't responding to Des and melatonin implants. He's been getting around the clock care. He's doing better. The stool has been slowly firming up a little each day. He's eating readily. He's not grunting or whimpering when defecating. His pr*****ed re**um is better, as is the pe**le swelling.

Yesterday we tried reducing the sub-q fluids to once a day and Bene-Bac (for diarrhea) to twice a day. He went downhill overnight. We went back to getting sub-q fluids 2 x day (for hydration and electrolytes), Bene-Bac 3 x day (for diarrhea), soup every six hours, Poopin Pumpkin 2 x day (for diarrhea), Prednisilone 1 x day (for pe**le swelling), Preparation H throughout the day (for pr*****ed re**um), wet food down to eat between soup. He went downhill again last night. Sigh.
