Updated, 1/6/12: Jack-Jack is our eldest ferret, closing in on 6 years old in 2012. He’s been afflicted by several of the common ferret ailments, having an adrenal tumor (treated by an implant), insulinoma (treated by prednisone), IDB (treated by metronidazole), and now possibly lymphoma (still under watch before confirming this diagnosis). While he hates the bitter medications, we give him ferretone afterwards, and he’s still playful when he feels like it. He likes to sleep a lot, but we’ve had him escape from the play area 3 times so far this year, and it’s only 6 days into 2012, so he’s still the JJ we know and love.
