hi its pastry + once again instead of ranting all over my profile im doin some updates here! specifically updates on joji [ my ferret ] since he saw a specialist on tuesday this is mostly fr me to 'vent' + also for some ppl on scratch who ask me for updates on them! - - - [ warning : this might be kinda sad + includes brief explanation of a skin procedure he may need done,, i'll try to keep out gross details ] - - - so! as i said in my last updates project,, joji saw a rly good specialist :) + he had to stay overnight to get some more tests done since his symptoms are VERY unusual for a ferret we got a call from the specialist yesterday that his tests were done! mostly everything came back fine although one of his organs isnt functioning perfectly :( long story short she told us that its most likely either a skin cancer or a disease that only one ferret has ever had before [ on record , at least ] his body could b unresponsive to medicine + is bad at healing itself,, which could b why he has lots of scars that havent healed [ warning if ur sensitive to skin stuff ] to test for either of these options he needs to get pieces of his skin sent to a lab to get tested on :( im not sure what the recovery process is like but it seems like this is the best option to find out what he's had for the past 3 months + they arent entirely sure what the treatment for either would be :( its tough. its my decision of whether we put him through that bc while i dont want him in pain i also want to know what he has + how to fix it so he's most likely getting that done next week :( but he came home last night + was so happy to see eddie + suki !! he also wouldnt sleep until he gave me little kisses :'))) <33 i love him sm + i feel so bad that he has to go through sm </3 sorry if u read through all that i j needed to rant aaa
