Hello all! o/
Yesterday we got our two new fuzzy friends, Peacekeeper and Haymitch, they are two small ferrets. They were adorable and rolling about. Our first reaction to their play was: Are they fighting? The second was a mild fuse of panic where we kept questioning if we should stop them. There followed some cuddles, and alot of playtime. A little discipline and then they went to their beds. Yesterday, was a nice day.
Unfortunately ever since they came yesterday I began feeling ill. My stomach began to cramp and I felt naucious. Today I woke up with a massive headache and my stomach was killing me, I had to go to the bathroom seval times but without any relief. I tried to take a bath and I took painkillers, but strangely enough they didn't work?! I was comepletely baffled by that fact... I got scared, and then suddenly my eyes got moist and I began spontaniously shedding tears. My boyfriend got very worried, and I tried to find a reason for my sudden "crying". I said I was just overwhelmed a little by our fuzzbutts. But in reality I didn't know why I was crying suddenly. My boyfriend had to go to do roleplay and I was left alone with the ferrets. Then it began... my eyes began to itch, my nose began to run uncontrolably and I hyperventilated, and felt like my throat was swollen and sore. I was terrified and called my boyfriend seval times begging him to come home, I called my friend HalloweenHolidayDoor and fortunately she had time for me, even though she was out. If she hadn't been there, I don't know what I would have done, honestly! I couldn't get a hold of
and I didn't want to bother :iconRavenpuff:, since well.. lets face it I was a mess of buggers and saltwater. Luckily
talked me into being calm again and call the doctor. I called him and told of my symptoms, also I asked if it could be related to the new pets I'd just gotten. He said it was very likely that I was having a allergic reaction towards them, and that I should come in and get it tested. After sitting with my head out of the window of our apartment, in like... forever.... my nose finally stopped running and the tears stopped floating. I was left with a pair of itchy swollen red eyes, and a mild stomachache plus a headache. And now the ferrets are asleep in their cage and I am writing this journal.
Honestly... I find this so ironic. Since one of the reasons we wanted ferrets was because my boyfriend werent allergic to them. Unfortunately, I seem to be having a reaction to them. A very strong one. We have decided to wait until sunday and then make our decision, since they need to be given a chance too. Just to see if it somehow magically goes away.. Hopefull, it does! I am also going to the doctor tomorrow, so with any luck, I will be declared allergic free, and I might just be sick.. I dunno. I hope so.
I really want my boys with me. Peacekeeper came up to me when I was crying, actually lied down in my lap and allowed me to stroke him until he heard me giggle, then he got up, looked at me and then ran away to play. Like he understood that I was sad and wanted to comfort me. Or thats the illusion I would like to believe in.
But... now... now time has to tell us. And I hope we can keep them. If not... then my heart will be broken, but also a little mended, knowing that the good breeder we got them from and whom we will give them back to, will find them suitable homes, were people don't hyperventilate and go into mental shock because of them.
Sighs.. My luck is indeed not great.
