A request for help...
As some of you may know, my lovely ferret buddy Duncan hasn't been feeling too good for a couple of months now. He's been to the ferret specialist a couple of times now, and not even she seems to know exactly what the matter is. What is for sure is that he can't stomach his kibble anymore, and that his internal tracts are not functioning properly.

Duncan is now on a hand-feeding procedure, and gets a lovely luke-warm 'meat-shake', which contains Royal Canine convalescence support and A/D meats from Hills prescription diet. He gets fed three times a day, and seems to be doing good on what he gets. His stool however, remains odd.

A couple of weeks back his stool was really odd. In fact, it looked like urine, but it came out of the wrong hole so to say. The specialist Hanneke Moorman demanded to see him as soon as possible.

Tomorrow is another vet visit, and we're going to see what is up. I fear I have to leave him behind for examination.. or worse... but don't want to dwell on it too much.

Needless to say, this whole 'going to specialist' and getting special food for him is running me into the ground financially. I never like to admit it, but I need help with it. Duncan's veterinary bills are around 600 euro in the reds.. and tomorrow is another visit which won't be cheap.

I don't like to ask anyone for money... so I thought it might be a good idea to design a little pendant as a reward for donations. People can buy this pendant to help out, and are free to donate more money if they'd like.

If you feel you could miss a little money for this cause, please follow the procedure. And if you can't spare any money, perhaps you can help by spreading the word on this cool ferret pendant.

All the little bits will help people.

Pendants are $25 per piece, but if you wish to donate more that is also possible. Shipping is $5 for Europe and $10 for the rest of the world.

If you want to buy a pendant, you can send your donation through PayPal to my email address (graywolf_howl [at] hotmail [dot] com). Please put 'Duncan Donation' in the subject line.

Thank you all very much... And let's all hope for the best tomorrow.

What is your paypal account - I'd like to make a donation (no need for the pawprint)....this past November, our dog Grits had to have his eye out, then almost died of other things, and our vet bills were $907 US for one month. We have been fortunate that people have helped us out (mostly my parents) and I'd like to pass along some Pet Karma to you....

xoxo

I wish the both of you the best, and hope the little floof makes it. He's the reason I fell in love with ferrets. <3

Immediately sending GoodWishes, however.

My puppy got parvo last September and passed...we still have vet bills left over from that [not much, though]. I would not have been able to keep him at the vet hospital without generous donations from internet friends and random people. I hope the same happens for your pet, though I can't spare anything myself at the moment.

Good luck to you and Duncan.

I'm real sorry, but I'm in no situation to help you with a donation at the moment.

All I can say is that I wish the best for that furry wriggly bundle of cuteness and love. A pat to him and a hug to you, Gray!

I'm so sorry. We are still paying off Liam's vet bills. But I will pass the word on. The pendant makes me smile to think of your outdoor hiking together. I'm sending my best wishes for the lovely little guy.

Those pendants are adorable, and I'm sorry I can't help out right now (maybe when my next check comes) ... but one thing you might consider is that putting Duncan on a homemade diet that is high in protein and fat as well as omega 3 fatty acids and some antioxidants will do just as good as what you get from the vet, and probably cost a lot less.

Not that your vet is trying to do you wrong, it's a lot easier to just give someone a can of food instead of trying to get them to actually make their pets' food, but making your own might help out in the long run, financially.

Good luck!
