Link's Luna video
Dr. Juliana's ferret, Luna, has lymphoma, and our team is euthanizing her tomorrow. Her 8 year old son, Link, made this video about her last day today. We let her walk out in the grass, made her a charcuterie board of foods she might like (she just liked the peanut butter and that's it!), and let her play with her favorite toys, while we spoiled her completely!
Happy National Hamburger Day! Time to get grilling!

Update on Luna, Dr. Juliana's ferret with lymphoma. We have increased her medication by quite a bit, which has helped, but she is definitely slowing down. She normally loves taking her little letters into her closet, but she still enjoys taking her kitty, Buttercup (a treasured gift from a wonderful family that we helped with in home euthanasia in 2014) into her closet.
Normally Luna would take her little foam letters as soon as I offer them, so her quality of life is starting to decline. ☹️ But she is still "clucking" [I'll get some video of that!] and happy, and RUNS to her cage when we squeak her toy, so we'll just continue to take it day by day!

Dr. Juliana's ferret, Luna, has lymphoma. But Dr. Juliana gives her prednisolone twice a day, and it has been helping her feel a lot better. She's just taking it day by day and monitoring Luna's qualify of life for now.

Our very own Dr. Juliana Lyles is honored to be speaking today at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. She will be speaking to the sudents about behaviors surrounding euthanasia. This is such an important topic, and it is always good to be able to bring awareness to it.
