STEAMBOAT SPRINGS - While most vets would have put a paralyzed ferret to sleep, new owner Bill Higbee gives Scooter the royal treatment.
Higbee built Scooter his own wheelchair to help him get around. November 1, 2006. When the local vet told Higbee about the ferret, he says he knew he had to adopt him.
Scooter's back legs are paralyzed, so Higbee built him a wheelchair "so his little legs can hang off the side and get stronger and things."
"We ran the aisles of Ace Hardware with this scooter," said Higbee.
That is not the only treatment Scooter gets. He also gets acupuncture once a week and regular shots of B-12.
Higbee is known around Steamboat as the man who takes in pets no one else wants.
