Hi everyone,
 
I am new to this chat place and I desperatly need some opinions.  We
discovered almost 2 months ago now that my little baby girl Oria has a
heart condition or heart failure called Cardiomyopathy.
 
She has took a dive for the worse and has lost so much weight that she
can no longer walk or stand up.  She has lost her muscle mass and much
of her fur.
 
With all her complications and problems about 2 weeks ago when I was
giving her her medication she aspired some of it and being weak like she
was she could not cough it up, she stopped breathing and turned blue.  I
rushed her to the ER animal hospital near my home and they saved her.
 
She was kinda doing ok and I was hand feeding her and hand giving her
water and all of her medication but today all of a sudden seemed to have
lost the will to live.  My vet and ferret guy from whom I adopted my
girls from, my other girl is fine, told me that she will be ok and for
me not to worry.
 
I no longer want to see her this way, I'm so emotianally drained from
crying I just want the best for Oria.  I love her so much it hurts so
much.  I can not even explain how I feel.  It is horrible.  I don't want
to keep her alive if she is suffering but they keep telling me she will
be fine.
 
I just don't know what to do anymore.  They have taken her away from me
to a foster ferret Mom who is home all the time so she can feed her and
make her drink and give her all her medication.  But they will not let
me talk to her, I don't know her number or anything.
 
Please help with suggestions.  My heart is aching with sadness and my own
energy level has gone down and I can not stop crying.
 
Thank you so much.
 
Valerie
