January - Month in Review

It's been a whirlwind this month.  We wrapped up the holidays, said goodbye to my brother, sister-in-law and their pups and settled back into the work routine.  The critters have had a pretty good month:

Health - We confirmed that Zoey is in great health.  We were never able to confirm that Oliver is over his UTI since he never would give up a urine sample at home or any of the 3 times I took him to the vet.  I am guessing yes since he has stopped throwing up for the most part.  I still get a lovely hairball every now and then but nothing like it was.  Emma is still on her Denamarin - I have relocated cat food to places out of her reach and I am hopeful her numbers will come back down.  Ferrets are doing pretty darn well - an occasional need for probiotics or Vetasyl now and then but otherwise they are healthy and active.  Phoebe and Aggie head to the vet in February.  Hoping for great results for them as well.

Happenings -   The giant styrofoam adventure for the ferrets is the gift that still keeps giving - weeks later I am still finding bits of styrofoam all over the house.  The worms for the composter arrived - seemed happy - then stressed and sad and now happy once more.  The baby ferrets turned 1 year old on the 6th!

All in all - a great month!
