A woman had a 1 year old baby, and didn`t want the ferret who belonged to her boyfriend & his eight year old son.The vet recommended they call us, so they would know where the ferret was......

 

The boy and the man weren`t happy to give up the ferret---but they did....

 

Chippy found himself without the man & the boy he loved so much.He went into shelter shock. We have only seen three cases where the ferrets really became severely debilitated from missing their former humans so much. (Most here were neglected or abused, etc.). Chippy lost nearly a pound, in spite of all efforts. He became ill from not eating...and depressed....

 

One night, Kurt & I were talking, & Chippy perked up. He loved the sound of Kurt`s voice. Chippy`s man had treated him very well--and he MISSED him! Chippy was brought into the main house. He needed Kurt! He began to eat again---play again---and love again!!! The lost weight returned, & so did the cute, happy ferret we had seen, a month before, when he was surrendered here!

 

Chippy sleeps in the main house now, although he does play in the ferret room.

 

More later, on this sweet chocolate boy!

 

(I am sorry, we will need to purcha$e more di$k $pace before we can po$t a picture of Chippy!)
