My ferret has cancer. This is the forth ferret that has died of this
disease and I have only had 7 ferrets.The pain involved watching my pals
die in this manner have led me to ask the question, why torture myself. I
am thinking I will not get any more ferrets, even though I love them and
they bring me such joy. I can no longer endure watching a friend
suffer.The costs associated with diagnosing the cancer is enormous..I would
spend anything for my friends. I think I spent $1000 on my first and
another $800 on the second. I spent $500 on the one who is dying now. I
guess I want some answers.I know cancer has become common among Marshall
Farm's ferrets. Is there anything being done to stop them? I also want to
know what this incessant licking behavior stems from. KC, the one dying,
is obssessed with licking and nipping. I have seen this in older ferrets.
Thank you for anyone who responds.
