Miko, fat or sick?

Oh boy. Miko is going downhill. He's now looking like a really sick little guy. He's got no energy. When I pick him up and hold him he's sort of limp. He's going down fast. I'm off to the emergency clinic.

I'm back from emergency. They kept Miko. They will try to keep him stable tonight so I can get him to his surgery appointment tomorrow. I'm so very afraid that he is going to die.

Miko made it thru the night well and I took him this morning to his ferret vet for surgery. He was a bit perkier after having fluids all night. The vet called an hour ago asking if he could do an xray. He said he suspects an enlarged heart. Surgery is scheduled for later this morning. His brother Sebastian had a long lonely night last night and was pretty cranky with me this morning that his bro was still not home.

Oh no, I just read this. Yous are in my htoughts still, more than you know. I hope he makes it & they find something that is treatable.

I wish yous the very best of luck.

Hang in there Miko, you can do it sweet guy.

No surgery now. But meds for an enlarged heart and diuretic to help rid his body of the fluid are coming. I'm going to pick him up in 2 hours, will update with more details when we get home.
