Someone wondered why they got no responsed as to why a ferret's tail would
bottle brush shortly before passing away.  I suspect there were no replies,
because we simply do not know for sure.  (At least I've never seen a cause
identified.)
 
I have wondered the same...I suspect it may be, that as the ferret's
systems are shutting down, there may be a 'surge' of adrenalin, causing
the tail to brush, as in excitement at other times.
 
I like to think that the little one has just spotted the rainbow bridge,
and is excited to check out what lies ahead.
