Roary, that was a beautiful post and so right! Yes, about a year extra with treatment for a ferret with cardiomyopathy is actually better than most with that illness do. Also, I think it is easy to become extra attached on both sides of the equation during that illness compared to some other illnesses --no matter how deep the relationship was before -- because of the level of care needed; it certainly is what has happened to us with some illnesses that required very extreme levels of home nursing.
