Sebastian to the Vet

[Queen of Poop]

I will be taking Sebastian to the vet tonight at 8 pm. It is time for another lupron shot. Not that they are working for him, he's getting less and less hair all the time. Ferrets aren't supposed to be naked. He might be able to get a new drug that they have brought in from the US. We will find out tonight, and hopefully they can give it to him tonight. It is supposed to work with the lupron. Hopefully the combination would allow his hair to grow back, before I have to figure out how to knit a ferret sized sweater for him for when the snow flies. Could ask for crossed fingers, in just over an hour, to help boost his chances to get this new drug.

We got the usual 2 lupron shots in the butt. Sebastian doesn't even seem to notice that he's getting poked. Too busy licking up the ferretone. Then he got the new meds - melatonin - in a format similar to a grain of rice thru a large needle between the shoulder blades. He didn't notice that he was getting poked with this either. This should last 4-6 months and slow release into his system. It will apparently work with the lupron and in maybe 4 weeks we should notice hair growth. Even the vet has her fingers crossed that this will help Sebastian.

Fingers & paws crossed here. I know how tricky those little guys can be.

Spurr's hair is "just" starting to thin on his shoulder blades. It may be the fact that he was in a small "hospital" cage for a couple weeks and rubbed his back on the cage or it may be the dreaded "A" word. I'll give him a few weeks in his bigger cage & see what happens. If there's no improvement off to the vets we go. (so far that is the ONLY symptom)

I hope that Spurr's hair does grow back and it's not the dreaded Adrenal disease. To do a quick check hold him and rub his full back hair the wrong way. Is he bald underneath the longer overcoat? I truly hope not. Another check is his tail, is it still all fuzzy. Sebastians is totally naked!!
