If you read "Losing Luna", you know that Luna never made it and the vet
told me that "if I didn't want to see this happen again, I would
"immediately bring my other ferrets to him for a cancer screening".Also,
after driving two hrs. back and forth at least 3 times to the vet, I was
not allowed to use their restroom, but was directed to go across the
street and use the restroom in Subway.
