Poor Morgan!

Yesterday I get a call from Rob just as I'm leaving work. Morgan is sick -- needs to go to the vet now! His foot is turning purple and is swollen to twice it's normal size. He's called around to the local emergency vet (Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti), but neither one treats ferrets. They reccommended us to an emergency vet in Novi. We take Morgan in, they check the foot, do x-rays. Morgan has some kind of infection in his foot. It's causing blood flow problems. They kept him overnight on an IV and anti-biotics. We got to take him home today. His foot is still swollen. He's on anti-biotics and pain killers. Poor baby! If the swelling doesn't go down, he may lose his foot! :( We're so worried for our little baby. He is such a sweet little ferret! He snuggled in my shirt all the way home! He's going to see his regular vet on Friday for a check-up.















Morgan's foot. Yup, they shaved the leg.
