Help Chunk get the best care possible !!

Hello lovely friends, family and strangers.

Our sweet 4 year old ferret son Sanderson (Chunk) has given us the fright of our lives on 01/07/2024 and we had to rush him into the emergency as he was vomiting, suddenly extremely lethargic, and having gastrointestinal symptoms.

We brought and left him to get better at the emergency vet with supportive care, monitoring and whatever else he needed.

About an hour later after we had returned home the vet was worried he was going to arrest so she called us to come in so we could be with him in case he was going to pass.

We spent a few hours with him while he was on fluids, brought his sister Lady to give him kisses and cuddles and he decided to perk up!

He needed to be hospitalised for 2 days with further supportive care, and ultrasound, FNA sampling of his lymph nodes and spleen as they were enlarged and irregular. (We are still waiting for the results of these to come back)

With the care he had, we were able to bring him home to continue his care journey in comfort. The nurses and vets said they’ve never met a sweeter or more cuddly ferret like him before.

Due to the rising costs of living and generally how difficult it is to stay afloat at the moment, we are here to ask you for help.

We are not expecting or asking to have the full vet bill paid by any means, we are just asking for a little bit of help to make sure we can do everything possible for him.

We cannot fathom the thought of leaving his sister Lady on her own if we could have the resources to keep him here as long as possible.

We know the struggle is hard for a lot of people at the moment so please, no pressure to donate. Anything helps.

If you’ve stayed this far to read our story, we appreciate you <3
