You know, I have a pretty good idea what the entries on here are going to be about for at least the next few days, so if anyone wants to ignore me completely, please feel free to do so...

Anyway, I put Lily back in with the boys to sleep this morning at about 2.30am since it was quite cold last night and I didn't think that would do her any good. I went to bed and woke up again about 7.30am, got her to drink some water and then put her back on her own. She's just had another dose of kaogel and antibiotics mixed with electrolyte and I'm leaving her for a bit before I try and get her to take some food, since I'm pretty sure she hasn't eaten anything since some time Friday.

At least she's not any worse, as far as I can see, so I'm hanging onto that as a good sign. *crosses fingers* Though it's painful to see how poorly she is in comparison to the bouncing thuggish bundles of life that are the boys.

Ferrets have a fast digestive system, so they're very susceptible to dehydration and that's the main problem with this diarrhoea Lily's got, that she's not taking in enough food or liquids of her own accord to keep her system going.

She does seem to have perked up a bit, but it's still too early to tell.
