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 @}----
