Twenty dollars away from paying off Major Tom's very expensive rattie tumour surgery and I discovered that one of the ferrets, Edgar, has what looks to be a prolapsed rectum.

If it wasn't so late at night, I would scream.

At any rate, it doesn't seem to be effecting him badly. I let him and Howard out for a run while I cleaned their cage and he acted his normal, cracked-out self. I wouldn't even have noticed it, except that he rolled over onto his back to present his stomach for scratches. However, he will be going to the vet tomorrow morning, which means more money being siphoned out of my bank account and more missed hours from work.

Since he's not a young weasel, this could mean very bad things that I don't wish to think about at the moment.

concerning pink socks

hey listen.... start feeding him/her moist food. Put antibiotic ointment on the *ahem* affected area after you wipe it with a warm rag. DON'T MAKE THE RAG TOO HOT OR TOO COLD. YOU ALWAYS MAKE THE WATER TOO COLD!

watch it for a couple of days. These things sometimes have a way of resolving theselves.

You can also try gently pushing the problem back into place. No, I'm not kidding.... even though I'm laughing.

*snicker*

You just reminded me of something you said when Midnight was a baby... it involved really soft food or else she would need the pencil eraser...
