Suck it, sick.
Claire got some meds at the vet (she has insulinoma, easily diagnosed by low blood sugar and controllable if caught) and she’s perked right back up. She’s still an old lady ferret, but now she’s coming out of her cage to play with her toys (a wooden turtle Mr. A bought on a trip, and a catnip mouse she loves).
We hope to have her with us for a good long while yet.
A.
