Glad Solomon is back to normal. They do know how to hold a grudge, even if
it is just for a day or two.

Doran is always ready to eat. : ) Last week, though, I had bought some
"treats" that are vitamin supplements and some liquid coat improver you put
on their food. Both of these products are supposed to taste good. Needless
to say, they want nothing to do with either product and wouldn't touch their
food. On those rare occasions, or when Doran is sick (which happened a
couple of weeks ago), I try to adjust the level of insulin down - maybe two
units instead of five. According to the vet, better too much blood sugar
than not enough. I have no idea what his levels are right now. I think we
need to plan another trip to the vet. Oh fun!

Saturday evening the vet said she was doing fine, "very grumpy"

She's had reactions before - her not eating or not willing to eat. Nothing
like this however. We had been monitoring her and adjusting her insulin as
required. I guess I missed this one entirely. We have Karo Syrup for her as
well. As for how she's doing, she was quite po'd at us - I assume for
leaving her at the emergency clinic. She was po'd at everything to say the
least, if any of the ferrets came within a few feet of her, she would swat
at them. At one point I think she was actually stalking the smallest one.

Sunday she was back to normal - she actually sat downstairs with us by the
fireplace while we were watching some DVD's.
