Hey guys!
I'm doing my best to hop on as often as possible! I really appreciate all of your kind thoughts and support!
I want to explain my hiatus and lack of activity a bit, and perhaps alleviate any concerns. I'm okay! I've just been under a lot of stress and have been very, very busy with work and my pets. I figured now was a good time to announce this because I finally have a legitimate answer; my ferret, Solace, had an ultrasound today. The doctors found a large tumor in his left adrenal gland, and some abnormalities in his pancreas that are indicative of adrenal disease and insulinoma. Our next move, most likely, will probably be an abdominal exploratory surgery and tumor removal. There are some risks associated with such an invasive procedure, though. Whether we pursue surgery or not, he'll be on medication for the rest of his life. We knew this would probably be the case and I have been preparing for months, but that doesn't make it all any less hard to hear. I work in an emergency clinic for animals, so I have a very, very clear idea of what all this entails- both a blessing and a curse, I think. I'm doing my very best to keep up activity as much as possible and start being a real member of the MLP Forums team again. I've just been having a real hard time, but you all have been so incredibly patient with me and I appreciate it so much <3
Here's a picture of my babies;
