A few of you will remember I posted a message a couple of weeks ago asking
for help with Screech, my 5 year old with diabetes.  I would like to once
again thank everyone who emailed me with their resources, encouragement,
advice, and caring.  I am truly thankful.
 
Screech's kidneys were failing and I had him put him to sleep this
afternoon.  There was no hope and I didn't want him to suffer.  He was near
coma when my vet gave him the injection.  It was the hardest thing I have
ever done and I will miss him always.  He was my baby.
 
At some point, I will try to post the whole story if anyone is interested.
Diabetes in ferrets is extremely rare as most of you know, but I hope if
this ever happens to anyone else's ferret, maybe Screech's story can be used
as a reference to try and save a life.
