The older the poison the less potent... but it can still kill her.

agreed! i'm glad you got her back! what a scary couple days!

I believe she has a cold! Her nose is running. Unfornately, I have a cold too! Ferrets can catch and give colds to humans!

So I am trying to avoid handling her right now. I could make her sicker.
She's hating being in her cage right now. She's used to running around free in the bedroom. I want her to stay in the cage and eat/drink some more. She's too skinny. She needs her rest. I think plenty of rest will help her. So far no signs of poisoning or other ailments. Just the normal cold symptoms which should run it's course in the next few days. If not, then I will take her to the vet this week.
Right now, I have too many other animals with health issues for me to afford. I lost my job and unemployed. My cat recently broke her right hip and dislocated the other. Scooby has rubbed off his toenails due to his stroke condition. Shaggy is shedding everywhere and may need to get groomed. I am trying to deal with one issue at a time!
