Dear List: I am sad to report that one of my ferrets died Saturday morning. I found her having trouble holding her head upright. She was getting cold. We wrapped her up in a towel to keep her warm but she took a few more breaths and died. Her death was unexpected since she was not exhibiting any current signs of illness but she did have adrenal gland disease. She was a rescue and could not have been more than three years old. I am grateful she did not suffer but why do ferrets have to die so young? It is heartbreaking to watch them die. Martha [Posted in FML issue 3250]
