(Bandit has advanced adrenal disease which has led to his balding, he was surrendered along with his sister recently and is recieving treatment in the form of lupron shots and an deslorelin implant on tuesday. His fur may grow back but it also might not! Bandit gets oatmeal and epsom salt soaks to soothe his skin, he also suffers from sores on his tail due to long term exposure to urine and feces, he was brought in for euthanasia for diarrhea and a rectal prolapse and then surrendered to me instead, these issues have since improved greatly)
I never talk about it here but I run a ferret rescue focusing primarily on seniors and ferrets with disabilities or routine medical needs 💪 I work in exotic vetmed for my day job
Hawk is one of my two rescues with DIM (Dissiminated idiopathic myofasciitis) an auto-immune condition that causes atrophy of the muscles and connective tissue in the body
Previously he has been unable to use his back legs due to muscle wasting, we do daily hydro physical therapy and today he was able to support himself slightly on his back legs for the first time since he developed the disease 🥺
