August 20, 2019:
  Bandit update, yesterday I got her to eat 3 bowls of soup, today she has not wanted to eat. I held her so she could have some soup she maybe took a tsp before she wanted down. I'm offering but not pushing her to eat.

April 28, 2020:
  Bandit update, she is not interested in eating her soup. She is winding down.

April 27, 2020:
  Bandit ate her MM soup and her evening soup. she is hanging in.

April 26, 2020:
  Bandit update, she was up and about this afternoon, she left her mid morning soup untouched, I set her and and the soup in the sick pen, she did finally eat it. I let her out into the kitchen for a couple of hours. I put her back in the sick pen, I think she will spend her time there from now on. No levels to deal with, easy access to pee pads, food and water.

August 20, 2019:
  Today was moving day for 4 fur kids, Razzle went to the cage that Jack and Mike were in on the south wall, Bandit went to the bottom cage that Razzle was in, Jack and Mike took the cage Bandit was in. Jack is struggling, I have put both Jack and Mike on soup so they are now on the sick bank.

March 7, 2019:
  I am working on getting Bandit's stitches out, I cut them then let her lick the scabs later I pull the stitches. It hurts less that way.

January 7, 2019:
  Here are the pictures of Bandit Post-Op. There are 8 stitches, OFD did not say but when he looked at the basil cell when we were there for checkup he indicated it was an easy snip. It looks to me that ran deeper than he had expected. I thought we would have about 3 stitches, as I said there are 8.

         

January 7, 2019:
  I made an appointment for Bandit to see OFD - she has a basal cell tumor on her right hind end. It has gotten big enough that when she gets in and out of here sleep box she catches it and makes it bleed. We are going in on the 21st of Feb we have that week off for winter break. I am going to take her in Donna is going to pick her up for me.

Christmas, 2018:

September 14, 2018:
  Lavern and Bandit were acting off the last couple of days, .. neither of them will eat their soup, I've had to feed them their meds by dropper. Tonight however they ate most of what was in the bowl by dropper.

July 30, 2018:
  Bandit - doing much better now that she is on Pred 3 times a day, she was actually playing and chasing yesterday. Dash has learned to climb I was letting him hang in the ferret room, but yesterday he figured out how to climb the trash can to get to the counter top. Ferret room is no longer an option.

July 21, 2018:
  Bandit shelter kid - she was acting off yesterday, foaming at the mouth, I took her BG it was 25 that was after she had her meds that morning. She will be on Pred 3 times a day along with Cooper.

May 7, 2018:
  Bandit is back to getting her meds with a dropper, she did not finish yesterday morning's soup She did not touch her soup last night, I found it untouched when I got her up to put her away. She was gagging, spitting and drooling. I will give her meds by dropper then I will give her a bowl, she can have as much or as little soup she wants.

     

May 4, 2018:
  Bandit is eating soup on her own in a bowl, she is doing well.

May 2, 2018:
  Bandit is taking her meds in a shallow dish of soup on her own without coaxing, she is still only eating Marshalls food, she is digging our mix out of the dish if she gets down to that level, looking for the Marshalls food. Bandit was scratching at the bars, she wanted up. I'm guessing she has decided life is good here at the shelter.

May 1, 2018:
  Bandit is eating her soup with meds from a shallow dish.

April 28, 2018:
  Bandit had 5 droppers of soup last night without a fight 25 mls. This morning she had a 1/2 bowl of soup by dropper - her poop looks good in the litter pan she is more alert and ready to engage.

April 27, 2018:
  Bandit took 3 droppers full of soup total of 15 ml - she was bright and responsive this morning.

April 26, 2018:
  I let Bandit out of the playpen to have the bathroom for the night, she took a full dropper of soup for me at soup time. She was not crazy about it but she took it. I need to keep her in smaller rooms so I can monitor her poo. I want to be sure she is eating, she came in having been fed only Marshalls select chicken food. I keep putting handfuls on top of the food dishes in the room she is in. she ate well Monday night, has not been eating real well since.

April 25, 2018:
  Bandit the new kid on the block is still taking her meds by dropper, however she is no longer fighting the soup. She's discovered it's not poison. I offered her what was left in the bowl when we got done with the dropper this morning, she actually had some. She is getting her first look at Mum's space this morning.

April 26, 2018:
  Bandit is doing okay, she took a full bowl of soup by dropper tonight. I wish I had weighed her when she came in, totally slipped my mind, I generally do. She feels like she has lost some weight.

April 26, 2018:
  Bandit is showing signs of shelter shock. She fought the dropper with meds, foaming at the mouth, gagging. Her numbers are low. After her meds I put her in the playpen.

April 24, 2018:
  Bandit did well last night, she's in the bank of cages that was up all night, she is in her cage now, time will tell how she will do.

April 24, 2018:
  The new little girl got here this afternoon. Nicky and Mike dropped her off. I got pictures but I'm too tired to mess with it tonight. She is doing well on her meds, not taking kindly to the soup. Her owner gave me all her medical records - this little one has been paid for 5 times over.
