May 9, 2020:
  Chardonnay found a Forever home!

  

March 6, 2020:
  Chardonnay is pooing better the Moxy is making a difference.

March 4, 2020:
  When I cleaned cages this morning I found some funky poo in Chardonnay's box. Before I put her away this morning I did a blood test to see what her number were. Numbers are good 88 so I started her on Moxy. I'm not sure what's going on but I'll do a coarse of Moxy for 14 days to see if it makes a difference.

December 30, 2019:
  I moved Bonnie into a cage, Bombay and Chardonnay into the sick pen yesterday. Bombay didn't want his soup this morning. I checked on him while cleaning cages, a bit ago, he is gone.

December 29, 2019:
  Bombay is not doing well at all, it is evident he's not well, he is our soup hound but he is struggling to eat a full bowl of soup. I think since Bonnie has decided she no longer needs the hospice pen I will put her back up in the cage and move Bombay and Chardonnay into the pen.

December 26, 2019:
  Bombay is looking a tad anemic, his ears and nose are very pale. I'll need to keep a close eye on him to see what is going on.

November 27, 2019:
  Bombay - something is up with him, he is a soup hound. He will eat as much soup as you put in front of him but this week he's been balking at the soup. This morning he was up waiting for the soup yesterday he walked away from his soup both times I offered it. I left it for later, it was gone when I went back to check but this is out of the ordinary for him.

September 24, 2019:
  Josie is gone. I found her struggling in her cage at meds time. She could not drink her soup. I gave her meds but when I got home she was gone.

September 7, 2019:
  Josie is having good days and bad days. When they get up she gets the playpen only, she has little strength to get far so this way she has easy access to warm blankets, food, water and poo papers. The other morning I was not sure she was still going to be with us when I got home from work, she rallied.

July 19, 2019:
  Josie's surgery went well, she came home with 4 stitches in her head. She's bouncing around this morning, without that ugly thing on her head.

December 1, 2018:
  Mum could not figure out where all our bears went, we had them stashed in our shark, not any more! Then Mum was putting some of us away, she was looking for Bombay when she found him she found the bears! Bombay decided he needed some friends to sleep with so he brought the bears to his favorite sleeping place. He is a silly little man!

  

November 18, 2018:
  I started Josie on Pred this morning, she was brighter when I got her up with the meds I am sure she will feel even better.

November 17, 2018:
  I tried to get blood from Josie again this morning, no luck. I text Dr Sandra asked her what she thought. She suggested I put her foot in warm water or rub it vigorously, I chose rubbing, her numbers are 52. I expect they were lower but she has been getting soup 2 times a day for a couple of days now.

October 13, 2018:
  Josie got some toys from her far away Mom!

  

September 21, 2018:
  Chardonnay was acting off, doing the shaking her head thing so I took blood from her to get a BG, it was - 8O. I'm not sure what was going on but it's not a low BG.

July 27, 2018:
  Something is up with Bombay, he will not eat his soup. Last night or this morning. No one else is balking at it so I's not spoiled. There is no drooling, or anything like that, he's bouncing around the play area this morning. I can't figure it out.

July 4, 2018:
  I found icky poo in Bombay, Chardonnay, and Josie's cage, more like pea soup than green slime. I have no idea who left it so I will start them all on Albon in the morning.

April 10, 2018:
  I found Chardonnay on top of the cages in the ferret room this morning so they are no longer going to be able to have that room. Up till this morning they have been good in that room; bummer that they can't be in there.

  

February 17, 2018:
  Bombay has been acting off, he was just laying in Noah's lap very lethargic, I took his BG it was 57 - we have him on meds and soup as of tonight.

  

November 20, 2017:
  I found Bombay in a funk yesterday I kept palpating him because he would not curl up to sleep he stayed stretched out. This morning when I got him up I found him curled up with Josie and brighter. I gave him a bowl of soup he seems to be feeling better. Maybe just an off day.

July 17:
  :Bombay is getting his fur back. see before and after pictures.

     

June 18, 2017:
  Bombay the newest kid - follows me around like a puppy dog. He is such a hoot. Josie was MIA for a few hours this morning.

June 17, 2017:
  I made the appointment for Josie and Buster to have their surgery on June 29th Josie has the subcutaneous adenoma on her back, and Buster has a mass on his intestine. OFD found both these issues when he checked them out last Saturday.
