Meet
TimberVik, another Petersen's Ferret from Pet Pros in the Boulevard
Mall. This little guy came to our rescue straight from Pet Pros, his
teeth were rotting so badly to the point of them just falling out,
which caused him to bite viciously to the point where he latched on to
anywhere he possibly could and tore flesh, he was being firmly
flicked and hit in the face at the store for biting,
adding to his pain. He was also overcome with ear mites to the point of
his ears bleeding severely and to top it off, his fur began to
massively fall out, due to malnutrition (Note in picture above)
and as far as we could see his litter-mates all appeared sick and
lethargic as well. TimberVik seemed to have needed the most help so we
purchased him. Since we have limited resources we could not afford to
purchase the rest and Pet Pros would not let us take custody of them
willingly. Pet Pros also did not even attempt, acknowledge or even,
supposedly, notice these issues until we notified them after
TimberVik's Vet visit. I NEVER refer people to Pet Pros, if you have
read the story on Opi the ferret that is just one more reason to dislike them.
After
painstaking hard work on the rescue's part as well as countless medical
treatments, and rehabilitation, TimberVik has come a long way (see below, yes his fur lightened to a light brownish silver.
=^.^=) You wouldn't even be able to tell this was the same ferret that
came to us months ago. TimberVik is now 8 months old
and totally healthy and sweet as ever and most of all he is no longer
in pain nor filled with fear, he is HAPPY! He even gives us kisses as
if to say thank you, it is as if he knows what we did for him.
