Things are looking up!!
Last Thursday, I felt at the end of my rope. I came into the livingroom, slid onto the couch, and poured my heart out to Mom and Dad; I didn't know how I could go on the way I was. Precious wasn't eating, I couldn't do my therapy because I have to be home every 2-3 hours, and I am battling depression on top of it all. I actually thought I was losing my mind, and Mom and Dad didn't know how to comfort me, because they couldn't look into the future and assure me everything would be alright. Completely emotionally drained, I picked my tired body off the couch and proceded into my bedroom to take my nighttime meds when I heard, "crunch". People, I swear to you and to God above that it was my little Precious, eating her first real meal of kibble. I don't mean just a kibble or two, I mean like a piggish amount of food. All I could do was sit on the other side of my room (I didn't want to distract her from eating) in the dark and watch her with tears in my eyes. That moment was so euphoric you couldn't even imagine unless you experienced it firsthand.
Joel came with me this week and brought Precious for her monthly Lupron shot to Vetopia. When she got on the scale, I couldn't believe it. In a week and a half, she went from 629grams to 679grams!! OMG!! Now it seems like every time I walk into my room, little miss piggy is at the trough, making up for lost time.
Now, to discuss the other little sweeties...
To be completely blunt, Precious hates Bear, Cocoa hates Bear, and Whirly wants Bear dead. You wouldn't believe the male-dominating behaviour he has been displaying. I have tried time and time again like and how the vet told me to but how much can I actually put them all through?! Bear is getting beat up every time, and the others are getting stressed out. My solution to this is to try this one more time when Bear is older and bigger, and if that doesn't work out, he'll be my "Spike". What I mean by this is like Spike, Bear will be allowed to roam the bedroom at night and sleep with me; becoming solely a human interacting ferret. Besides, he loves playing with the family, you should just see him bounce and that little spark in his eye.
That's the big ferret update. Things are looking up, let's hope it continues.
