Oshie
« on: July 02, 2013, 07:39:43 PM »
This month is turning out to be a horrible one. Having already lost Stolly and Sassy in the space of three weeks we lost Oshie today.

Oshie joined us in 2011 as a one year old hob. He had been left on a  doorstep with his sister in a box. The note left with them said that the owner couldn't cope anymore and it didn't take us long to find out why. Oshie was a complete and utter nutter. Totally manic, into everything he should have arrived with his own ASBO. The poor soul was obviously very inbred as his undershot jaw and  piggy eyes   matched his apparent lack of brain power. If ever a ferret needed Ritalin it was him! Nippy at first he soon learnt to trust and he rewarded us with being the best racer we ever had. He would still do a nip and run every now and again but to him it was just an invitation to play and I swear he was sniggering as he ran away. He had the life of riley and loved bombing around with his mates but a few months ago we noticed that he was losing weight. Despite visits to the vets and supplementary meals he just wasn't putting any weight back on and no one seemed to know the reason why. He was still happy until about a month ago when I noticed he had developed cataracts first in one eye then in the other. More vet visits followed as he developed fluid in his abdomen which was putting pressure on his diaphragm. He was put on steroids to see if they picked him up but he made no progress and was starting to be sick and have diarrhoea so we had to bath him daily. Despite this he developed sore patches around his back end. Given how uncomfortable he seemed and the lack of any progress we didn't think it was fair to keep him going and he went off to meet his old friend Stolly at the bridge today. A life that was far too short but lived at full speed. Keep on running Oshie and we will meet you at the bridge.  love Mum, Dad, Will and Ben xxx  :kiss1:

I ferret proofed my house... but they still keep getting in
