I’ve been outta town for a few days, but I’m really glad to read this entry (late!) and hear that Star is doing better. I hope that she has been continuing to improve. It’s because of your care and hard work. She’s a lucky little ferret!

It is not stupid to be excited when a pet pulls through! I didn’t even know Star’s sick (so much for logging in more often) so it’s great to hear she’s getting better!

I rescued a dying baby bird and I had to hand-feed her through a syringe all kinds of supplements and medication every 2 hours so I know how tough it is. (She got better and now we keep her.)
But it sounds like you’re doing a fantastic job!

Don’t you love that moment when they’re well enough to eat on their own?!

That was so nice of you to nurse the baby bird, it must have been so tough! But yes, the moment they take a turn for the better makes it ALL worth while πŸ™‚

I’m so happy to hear that she is doing better. I know what it’s like to have a pet that feels like a baby/child to you, and then to have them be life-threatening sick, AND to be going through it (physically… temporarily) alone.. it’s all just too much, and absolutely heart-breaking. It’s wonderful to hear that she is doing better; I hope she continues to improve and make a complete comeback. I know you would be absolutely devastated….

And don’t think no one wants to hear about this aside from Chris. ESPECIALLY since she is beginning to improve (we need updates like this!).. I know I am not alone in caring, and wanting to hear about your little furbaby. πŸ™‚

Aww thanks so much for your nice words. I’m def happy that Star is better and Chris just walked in the door, so it feels like all is well again! πŸ™‚

SO SO SO SO HAPPY to hear this wonderful news. i know star and misty are your fur kids and you love them to pieces. my heart was breaking along with you; when our dogs our sick, it’s so hard. <3

i’ve seen so many photos of your little ferrets, and i think this has to be the cutest one so far.

i’m glad to hear star’s getting better!

LOVE!!!!! This is so awesome to read!!! I am so glad Star has perked up that is amazing progress! And stupid posts? PAH! *BIG HUGS!!!!*

that’s brilliant!! I’m so happy for you, and I hope she continues to improve really rapidly πŸ™‚

Yay! :o) So glad she’s feeling/acting better.
And crying and then sleeping is totally expected in this situation. Your nerves have been on edge for ages!

I never go a bit nutty and cry/sleep, so it was quite weird! I woke up and was like *looks around*… what just happened..??

I slept sooo well last night, just in the knowlege that she’s much better, and because I didn’t have to wake up every few hrs, haha

πŸ™‚ I’m so glad star is better!
must be the love you have for her, she wanted to be fighter for you πŸ™‚

i’m glad to hear star’s getting better!

I’m so glad to read that Star’s getting better. I haven’t been online for the past few days, so I haven’t checked in, but don’t worry about boring us (well, me, since I can’t speak for anyone else) with the Star posts. You’re worried, and we (I) understand.

Glad that Chris is back home, and that you have some support now. The the opportunity for yourself to recuperate too. Not sure what is available there etc, but fortify yourself with something – chicken essence/ginseng tea/chicken soup/fortified wine…

Take care.

yay! that’s such great news! i’ve been following your posts on star while crossing fingers that everything will go well.

awww, bev, i’m so glad star is improving! i have four cats and i know how hard it is to see one sick. so don’t ever apologize for talking about it because this is your livejournal and we care about you.

*HUGS*

4 cat would def be a handful! I hope none of them ever fall ill like that, it was so terrifying πŸ™

That’s awesome!! I’m so glad to hear that Star is improving…and glad that you’d be able to rest up a bit too! It’s so hard to have a sick pet…and with Chris out of the country, doubly exhausting!! Light on the horizon! =)

LOVE!!!!! This is so awesome to read!!! I am so glad Star has perked up that is amazing progress! And stupid posts? PAH! *BIG HUGS!!!!*

Isn’t it hard being a parent? When Colossus is sick it’s like the whole world is on my shoulders. I lay awake watching him sleep making sure he’s comfortable. I’m glad your baby is improving! πŸ™‚

Yeah, i was SO SCARED the whole week… all I wanted was for her to stay alive, and I’m so happy she is!

that’s brilliant!! I’m so happy for you, and I hope she continues to improve really rapidly πŸ™‚

Hello Beverly πŸ™‚

I’m super glad to read about Star getting better. I have 2 dogs on my own too and Tammy has been really sick before – it a horrible feeling!

Take care ok? One of my good friends is relocating to Shanghai with her husband in 3 month’s time – I’m going to introduce your blog to her. Believe she’ll read about alot of interesting info that can help her adjust to life there!

Aww sorry to hear Tammy was sick before, but good that’s she’s all recovered! I’m amazed Star is gonna survive after all, I almost didn’t dare to hope for it..

Oh great to hear your friend is moving here, it’s loads of fun!

Yay! :o) So glad she’s feeling/acting better.
And crying and then sleeping is totally expected in this situation. Your nerves have been on edge for ages!

I never go a bit nutty and cry/sleep, so it was quite weird! I woke up and was like *looks around*… what just happened..??

That is such amazing news πŸ˜€ I’m so so happy to hear she’s doing better Bev. I told you your nursing skills were excellent. *hugs*

Yay for Star! I wasn’t too worried, I felt she would recover. But the smaller you are the more being sick and/or dehydrated is a major setback and it takes time. It’s very good that it wasn’t contagious and didn’t affect your other ferret because having two down at once would have been even worse. Hopefully it’s all uphill from here.

I hadn’t thought about airport hassles for Chris after being in the USA. But, yeah, I can see where paranoia might make them detain and question people returning from there even though there is such low risk any one person got exposed.

Wishing you sleep and rest and much happy snuggling with all members of the family. πŸ™‚

yeah i do think smaller animals get hit harder – poor lil critters! i HOPE its not contagious.. so far Misty is still ok :X

Don’t worry it doesn’t sound stupid! Little improvements like this mean a lot. I’m happy for all of you.

I’m glad she’s feeling a bit better : ) It must be so relieving to know that Chris will be back soon– hopefully, you’ll get to take a bit of a break on the ferret care front. Your worries about Star probs aren’t helped by being super exhausted!! Awww, I’m so glad she’s pulled through.

man i can’t WAIT till he comes back.. i think that’s one of the biggest stress relievers for me, heh, esp since he comes back with Sephora goodies – whee!

They mean so much to you so I don’t think that it’s boring or stupid for you to write about your ferrets. It’s just about time that you wrote some good news about Star. πŸ™‚

awww..so cute to see them cuddle each other when they sleep! Good to hear that Star is recovering! πŸ™‚ all the best!!!!!

That’s definitely great news! And I’m so glad you wrote this down here so that we can also keep up to date. Those two are so presh. I hope she (and your sanity) makes a full recovery soon. I had an almost similar depressing experience after I sent my cat for spaying. She hated me for a period of time. But that’s all in the past yea.

I’m so glad for Starr’s recovery.

I hope animals like your kitty and star have short term memories only then.. cos I’m so worried Star remembers all her force feeding and is scared/dislikes me!

Hooray! You must be so relieved πŸ™‚ Hope she makes a complete recovery soon! Can’t wait to see your Sephora haul too πŸ™‚

Psst…I ended up getting the iPhone because I found Bold too bulky. Loving my iPhone now πŸ™‚

The Sephora haul is gonna be SO well received.. it’ll be my serious bout of retail therapy hehe.

The iPhone is pretty cool too!

I’m so glad she’s feeling better! Your stories aren’t boring at all. I’d never known anyone with a ferret, so it’s fun to hear about your pets. Perhaps after all the stress, it’s time for some retail therapy! =)

I am SO relieved. But ya, ferrets just arent very well-known pets – which is crazy cos I think they’re perfect pets πŸ™‚

yay!!! I am so glad star is doing better! I hope she is completely well soon. You don’t have to apologise for writing about star, we all enjoy reading everything you write, and wish the best for you πŸ™‚

Even though I am usually on the sidelines but I am very happy to here that Star is getting better! I remember when my niece first got sick I was so worry how I was going to handle it but in she got better. I know when Chris get home seeing the kids healthy makes you happy then it makes him happy.

BTW: Can’t wait to see your sephora haul your sweetie got for you!

gosh i didn’t know star is sick…thank goodness she is getting better.
i guess she felt your pain and knows she has to pull through no matter what. πŸ™‚

Really glad to know that Star is improving. I am sure God hears our heart!

Just so you may not know, your writing about Star here didn’t bore me at all, not a tiny bit! I am sure all pet-lovers / animal-lovers on your list feel the same too.

Have a nice week ahead (with Chris coming back and Star getting better!). Don’t forget to keep us updated on Star, too!!

Aw thank you hon. I’m just so happy I could scream, hehe! I keep looking at her resting peacefully or running around, and it feels SO GOOD πŸ™‚

Ohhhh that’s AWESOME!
I hope Star continues to get better and better!
I think after all this, you deserve another vacation, no? πŸ˜‰

Really happy for you and Star as well… Been reading your posts religiously and having a bunny on my own.. I know how you feel.. Happy weekend for you πŸ™‚

i think bunnies and ferrets would have the same impact if they fell sick, cos they’re so lil. I hope yours will always be healthy! πŸ™‚

I know dear…they r so seldom ill too so you just get all panicky if they show any sign or lethargy… But all good news to you πŸ™‚

Late to this. I didnt know Star was so sick. So happy to hear that she is getting better. Sending lots of positive vibes *hugz*

Sorry about all the boring stories about Star – I know it’s technically not of much interest to anyone else but Chris and I.

Hey’s it’s YOUR journal, you can write about whatever you want πŸ™‚

awww so glad to hear of the improvement! and don’t apologize for writing about your babies…it’s YOUR journal, you get to write about whatever you want…if people don’t like it, they don’t have to read it πŸ˜›
