Hi Guys,
 
It is with a sad heart that I am writing to say that I found a mass the
size of a ping pong ball in my Patches tummy.  She has had diarreaha for 6
days now.  I have tried all that I know - Kaopectate, Amoxil, Centrine,
Immodium, Pedialyte.
 
I am feeding her duck soup 4 - 5 times a day because she won't eat on her
own.  She goes in for exploratory surgery on June 9 but the vet says the
prognosis is bad.  She probably won't leave the table alive.
 
Patches is 2 1/2 years old.  This will be her 4th surgery.  She had a begin
bone tumor removed from her lower jaw 1 3/4 yrs ago.  She has been fine
untill now.
 
What I need now is the strength to let go.  Accepting her probable
impending death is too hard.  I have 4 other ferrets and I just keep
thinking "I don't know how I'll do this four more times."
 
Keep us in your prayers.
 
Barb
And all our fuzzies
