I am new to this list and have been lurking for a while. My son and I
were new ferret owners and absolutely fell in love with a silver mitt bad
boy named Rain. He weighed in at 3 lb and only 9 months old. When had
him for 5 months, but with his love it seemed like years. What spirit,
and joy.
I went to check on him in his safe cage only to find him hanging by the
waist from his comf-e-cube hammock. Seems, according to the vet, he must
have gotten his hip bones caught while trying to get out. He was alive
but could not move, and after 3 blood transfusions and 12 hours of vet
care, Rain's heart stopped.
I can't tell you how hard this was. We loved him and it shouldn't have
happened. A hammack made for a ferret should have been safe.
So now we have no ferrets. But, we have called the local shelter and will
be going to give 2 of those brave blood donors a new home. They tried
their best to save him.
Thanks for listening to me. I really appreciate this list.
