Hello Friends, I just wanted to let you all know that Buddy died this afternoon. He underwent surgery this morning where his Right and Left adrenal gland and his spleen were removed. The surgery went well. Unfortunately Buddy had another problem. The platelets in his blood were not working. He started to hemorrhage on a major scale. He was bleeding inside his muscles and just about everywhere internally. Dr. Weiss, the veterinarian, went back in but was unable to find anything that he could tie off to stop the bleeding. So, Dr. Weiss gave Buddy three blood transfusions from three different ferrets. His hope was that the platelets in the new blood would stop the hemorrhaging. Dr. Weiss also gave Buddy a shot that should help the blood to clot. Unfortunately the hemorrhaging wouldn't stop. About three hours after the surgery, Buddy quietly crossed over. I miss Buddy more then words can explain. I Love you Buddy! Until we meet again my Friend . . . . Jason [Posted in FML issue 3043]
