Dr. Stuve did the exploratory and really found nothing that would be obviously indicative of all th vommiting that Lucky has been doing. All his internal organs looked fine. There was only some pinkish fluid found in the abdomen that he said looked like kile which is a secretion of the lymph glands. But that it should have not caused the problem. In the end, after talking about it we made the decision to let him go. He had been sick for so long and nothing was making him better. He had lost so much weight and was fighting when being fed. I think that it would have been unfair to try to keep him going. Dr Stuve offered to have some path done on his intestines and stomach to see if it will help another ferret that has the same problems. Lucky had served his purpose in this world. He loved completely and trusted completely. Even after the horrible things his previous owner had done to him. He was left in a cat kennel in an apt when his owners moved out, the landlord found him several days after they left with no food or water. He recovered beautifully and even came through ECE. I loved him and will miss him very much. Thanks for your prayers, and they were answered. Lucky is in a better place and he does not hurt anymore. He is being held in the company of all his friends and in the presence of his Creator. Diana and The Ferret Farm [Posted in FML issue 2994]
