Welcome to Lakeroad Ferret Farm Rescue/Shelter, Inc.

Anatasia

   • Anastasia came to the Shelter on April 17, 2014. She found a Forever Home on June 14, 2014!
   • Anastasia was a champagne female. She left for Rainbow Bridge on November 27, 2018.

   • Anastasia had a far away mom in Mesa, AZ. Thank you for helping Shelter Mum for taking care of me until I found my Forever Home!!

Anastasia was found running down a sidewalk by a police officer. She was then taken to Oswego SPCA, then turned over to the Shelter.


 

June 28, 2018:
  I will be removing Anastasia's stitches today, her surgery was the 14th, the incision looks good and well healed.

June 27, 2018:
  I spoke with doc Charlie last night we decided Anastasia would go home Saturday, his fur kids have green icky slim poo - she is safer here in the sick pen then going home to be in the same area as the others. He is going to start them on meds.

June 26, 2018:
  She is ready to go home when you can come get her. I will remove her stitches for you. When we talk I will tell you what I was thinking. Brenda

June 24, 2018:
  Anastasia was out and about in the living room a good portion of the day. She seems to be doing well. Maybe she will go home this week.

June 23, 2018:
  Anastasia is eating kibble and doing ok, I spoke with Doc Charlie yesterday just before bed. We decided he would leave Anastasia here for a bit longer just to be sure she does not do a back slid. Doc Charlie says he does not have the time to watch her as closely as she needs she will stay a bit longer. I did not do the Pred this morning, I wanted to see what her BG would be without it, the surgery she had was for removal of nodes off her pancreas. (Insulinoma) Her BG was 40 so the surgery gave her more time but she is still going to need meds. I will do another BG in the morning to see if we need to go back to 2 times a day.

June 21, 2018:
  Anastasia spent the night out of the pen, she was eating some treats last night before I went to bed.

June 20, 2018:
  Anastasia ate 20 mls of soup this morning - first 5 mls with Pred.

Shelter to Owner: Sorry I missed your call last night, I was already in bed, I did not sleep well the night before. Anastasia is improving, she is feeling better enough that she is fighting me when I try to give her Carafate. I've got the bleeding stopped, she is pooing nice brown poo. This morning she took 20 mls of soup by dropper. The first 5 ml with the 1/4 tab of pred. She is not yet eating kibble so I am offering her soup every few hours. I'm headed out to work, have a good day. Brenda

June 19, 2018:
  Anastasia is doing better, not eating on her own or kibble yet, but her temp is back to normal, her color is back in her nose and pads, she is more alert and moving more. she is fighting me when I try to give her the Carafate, that's a good sign she is doing better.

June 18, 2018:
  Doc Charlie got here about 12:30 with Anastasia, I have her up here in the sick pen. We are caring for her post-op. Doc Charlie said he could not get her to eat soup or take meds. I got her settled in the sick pen about 1:30. Charlie went back to work I started working on getting Anastasia back on her feet. I gave her some Carafate 15 min later offered her soup. She took 20 mls - I repeated that at 4:40 this afternoon, just got her to eat about 1/8 cup of soup with meds. She is pooing icky sticky dark poo. I hope getting more soup in her I can get that bleeding to stop. Doc Charlie said as he was leaving he did not think she was going to make it. I am going to do my very best to prove that statement wrong. She is looking brighter and moving better.

March 1, 2018:
  Anastasia has something hard in her belly area. Dr Carrie also did a palpation she too felt what I felt. Doc Charlie got in touch with OFD he was taking Anastasia to see him on the way home from our class presentations.

April 25, 2017:
Anastasia is back to her usual active self. Gus and Ping are goofy as usual, and the elders of the group, Alice and Fred are doing pretty well. They are all pretty active. Fred for sure has slowed down overall, I think the adrenal is the main cause for this. It appears there is not much more to do for this problem. I do wonder if surgery to remove adrenal adenoma is something to consider. He has been pretty healthy, weight is stable. His age is a factor, but I do wonder.

Brenda,
  Sunday evening Anastasia was not doing as well. Would not take soup or Ferrtone. Ended up taking her into see OFD (not “old fart Doc”. He felt maybe a little bit of bacterial overgrowth in GI track, stress reaction, maybe virus.
  She will be on an antibiotic for 7 days, she was better on the way home, started to eat, was happier when I put her in a cage tonight.
  Whew, it makes me nervous when these little guys get sick.
  Charlie

Brenda's response: Well poop I was hoping she was just homesick. Oh good I am so pleased to hear that. Yes I am right there with you! They can turn sick in and instant. Thank God for OFD

June 30, 2014:
  Anastasia is doing pretty good. I was holding her and Fred, keeping them just out of reach of each other. She was acting pretty good, then she had the nerve to reach out and bit Fred on the lip! What a stinker! Luckily she let go, and Fred was no worse for the wear. All the other Ferrets are doing well. Still have not been able to get Luna with the 4 pack. She likes to be a touch rough with that group, but many times it is just biting on the neck, not really “ripping” at all. Max just waits it out, then quickly likes to smell her butt! You-i has been getting a little more aggressive with her when she bits him. He used to run, now he waddles after Luna. No big ruckus, but we also watch them pretty close so no one is getting fuzzed. We just have to keep working on them.

June 15, 2014:
  Brenda, I was gone most of the day on a long bike ride. When I got home it takes/took about 2 + hours to get cooled down and “rehabbed” for the next workouts. So, I am getting back to you late.
  she is doing very well. When we got her home and everyone settled, she was out running around. She loved the new toy we got in one the raffle items ( youngest cat/kitten loves it too). Anastasia was duking and dancing.
  I am going to let her get acclimated to her new home before we try anything. She is very precious.
  I will contact Wendy and get her garment sent to her. Had a great time yesterday at Clinic Day.

I am going to go live with the Keenen family.. they have Luna and Maxim and so Mum says this is a really good home... they took me out to play in the yard today on clinic day... thanks for helpen Mum take care of me while I was here. - Anastasia

April 17, 2014:
  Marcia got here with the newest little one about 10:30. Anastasia, she is under a year old, Champagne color and full of life! Her nails were real long so we got them cut, she likes ferretone that was a +. My guess; she was a Christmas baby and got out of the home that got her. She was found running down the sidewalk by a police officer. She was taken to Oswego ASPCA. She is a pistol, has no fear, spent a good deal of time running and playing checking out everything. She loves the bean box, tried the corn starch peanuts, ran through every tube she came into contact with. We let her run for a few hours while Marcia and Daisy went from room to room cleaning food and water stations. I got her settled into her cage. She seems to be plenty happy where we put her. When it was time for meds I got her up to offer her some, she had 20 mls of soup from the dropper before I set her in front of the bowl to finished up what was left. She is a beauty see attached.
