Hi Woofers.
Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.
Well, another frosty start to the day and for once I didn't mind. No one else on the old golf course and loads of sniffs!
I got back in time to wave Eric off to the vet to see about his leg.
Now you remember the first vet suggested chopping Eric's leg off but Old Two Legs suggested the Cryopen treatment and when Eric got to the vet the Cryopen was already out and on the table. There was just one small problem.
To get a ferret to stay still while the vet worked on his leg would normally be quite easy, you just stick the bottle Ferret Oil in his mouth and he rolls over onto his back and happily slurps away until the work is done. Well, that has always been the way except this time we had run out of oil.
So, this time we have a vet waving the Cryopen and grabbing at Erics leg so we don't get it all over the place. Then there is Eric who is doing a serious wiggle dance to try to escape from OTL's arms.
In the end it was a case of do we get the Mast Cell Tumour frozen or is Erics leg going to get frozen and drop off on its own accord!
Finally, Eric was squeezed back into the travelling cage and OTL had time to discuss with the vet her opinion on Eric's progress.
Seems that there could be a few more visits to the vet but so far, the tumour is sort of rotting away.
Best of all, it's not worrying Eric and he seems to get along with the tumour!
Next visit to the vet is in two weeks’ time and this time we will have the Ferret Oil to keep Eric quiet!
When they got back it was time for my walk and just like yesterday, there was no-one on the sea wall or in the forest.
Maybe it's something I've said?
See you all tomorrow.
Luv,
Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
