Ophelia & Taylor

This incredibly sweet, bonded pair of senior ladies came to us when their family was no longer able to meet their medical needs.  
 
Because of their age and health status, they’ve been placed in fostice care - foster home hospice care - where we will provide treatments to keep the girls comfortable and give them all the attention and love we can, until it’s their time to leave for the Rainbow Bridge. They are still active and spunky so we expect to enjoy their company for quite a while. 
 
Both girls are mostly blind. 
Both girls have insulinoma. 
Both girls have adrenal disease. 
 
Since we see a lot of ferrets with insulinoma, we keep loads of pred on hand but the cost of two DES implants is a bit out of our reach right now. We are using melatonin to treat the hair loss until we can raise the funds to get implants for both girls. 
 
Ophelia is very people oriented. She constantly follows her foster mom all over the house, even braving the stairway tunnel to be with her. She even climbs up into the bed via the ramp to cuddle with her foster mom and Ophelia gives almost everyone she meets the most delicate of kisses. 
 
Taylor is a quiet, less active little girl who loves to stash things and prefers hanging out with other ferrets who will allow her to groom their fur. She occasionally enjoys a good cuddle with her foster mom but no kisses… yet.
