Shari I was surprised at your post to anon over her not getting a necropsy. Have you ever lost a ferret? Do you know the pain? How can you be so cruel? Anon was expressing her lost and sharing. I would like to think that this format is to give support. I find your remark very inappropriate. I have lost several ferrets. One of which died within a month of a mass forming on it's brain. I was told she would be dead in two weeks. Instead of making her suffer we helped her cross over. The hardest thing to do, I have never let them cross by themselves. I choose to have her necropsied and still to this day there is no explanation for her death. Instead of helping it has only left me with a bitter taste and several questions unanswered and the awful image of what they did to her body. I ask please think before you type. God bless, Lisa [Posted in FML issue 4292]
