I know I dont type much and am very much a lurker...I can hardly bare to read off other losses due to being emotive, now I understand why... I'm at a loss right now... but 2 hrs ago I had to help Ben along the Rainbow Bridge. On New Years day he collapsed and was taken to the vets and given antibiotics & salline to give him through the course of yesterday, the latter by injection (always wondered what that would be like)... He perked up... I was so happy things were looking possitive. He went for a follow up appointment this morning where the vet noted the difference and managed to pop him, which wasnt too pretty. She suggested monitoring him for the day and me to collect him tomorrow. But she called this afternoon, he had a tumour and there were not much chance of him recouperating from the op... best for Ben was sleep. So I took Zack and Bear to the vets so they would know too.
My poor boy, it's strange but I'd only got him and Zack at the end of October and Bear later in Nov... But they're mine... and I had to let Ben go. I'll never forget him trying to climb up my trouser leg when I first met him, nor him biting the back of my hand when I was scrubbing his poo from the carpet the other week.
I dont know if this is the right place... but I know somewhere there is a list of ferret friendly vets and I dont think the vet I take my boys too are on it, but Wilsons where I am were good when I took them all for check ups and very good with helping me today make the decision with Ben.
Dook on little fella... I'll miss you @}----

Thanks for reading, it's good to know I'm not a nut. Zack & Bear seem to be still doing their own thing which is encouraging... my living room is back to being a ferret room lol Wouldnt change them for the world.

Sweet Dreams Ben. :angel1:
The main reason for the Rainbow Bridge pages are just for this sort of thing. Only other Ferret owners can totally understand how a Ferret can steal your heart, and in just a very short time. Sorry you have had not only lost a ferrets so soon, but had to make such a hard decision of having to have one put to sleep as well.
We do not currently have a list of Ferret Friendly Vets, but I think it would be a good thing to start to get set up this year. I will set a thread up on it later. Thanks.
