I hate posts about ferrets that pass away. I don't believe in the
Rainbow bridge. But answering the phones here at San Diego Ferrets
Anonymous I get a lot of sad stories, and each one affects me.
And now it is my turn. My ferret Simba was not herself one week ago. I
noticed a lump on her side. Off to the vet with the instruction "treat
her as if she were your ferret." So out came her spleen, one adrenal, a
pancreatic tumor and I got medicine for her newly discovered insulinoma.
When I went to give her medicine Friday night she was obviously in
distress - so off to the emergency vet where she died about 15 minutes
later.
Now I feel so guilty about putting her through so much surgery. Had I
gone the cheap route and lost her, I'd feel guilty for not spending the
money. I know you just can't win with these little guys.
This house, with three dogs, three ferrets and one cat seems so empty.
How I wish I had goldfish.
