Buddy left us this morning after a long fight with multiple cancers.
Last spring he was taken to UT Veterinary Hospital for an adrenal
diagnosis. During the ultrasound the vet noticed a mass on his liver,
along with some other questionable masses. A biopsy showed cancer,
deemed inoperable by the UT vets. Buddy was given ferretonin implant to
help with the adrenal symptoms and sent home to play and live for an
estimated 6 months. He made it over a year. He did well until the last
few weeks, when he began to rapidly lose weight. He quit eating Friday;
was going to go in for a mercy shot this morning but passed on his own
instead around 8 am.

Buddy was a rescue abandoned by our neighbors 6 years ago, his
estimated age was around 7. He was as bubbly, bouncy, happy of a
ferret as anyone could wish for.

We'll miss you, bada-bing-bada-boom-buddy-boy.
