Heidi was diagnosed with insulinoma last March. I lost Heidi last night/early this morning at the vet's. When I went to feed her yesterday at noon, she was having a seizure. I tried honey on her gums and a warm sugar solution and nothing was working. Her jaws were clamped so tight, the sugar solution was just running out of her mouth. I got a neighbour to drive us to the vet. She stopped seizing during the ride down there and of course I thought the worst was over. She started again in the vet's office and stopped and started again. She had at least 4 seizures before the vet even saw her and Cathy saw her pretty quickly once we got there. Her blood glucose was only 2.9. Cathy gave her drugs to increase her glucose level and valium to stop the seizures. I left her at the vet's fully expecting they would be able to get her glucose level up, and Cathy thought I would be able to take her home today. Instead they phoned me this morning and said that she passed away during the night. I went down and wrapped her little body in polar fleece to send her off to the crematorium, and paid the vet bill. I didn't get to talk to Cathy because she was very busy when I went down, but I read on the bill that she had several more seizures through the evening and night and they were really bad ones. The account said she was screaming +++, and they would get her stopped and she would start up again. I saw Murphy during a "screaming seizure" and it was horrible. In a way I'm glad I was spared that with Heidi, But I feel really bad that she was alone when she passed and I hadn't had a chance to tell her about the Rainbow Bridge. I honestly thought that she would pull through when we could get her glucose level up. The thing that really gets me is that she was such a good eater. She took her meds so well and even ate her kibble between her duck soup feedings, I certainly wasn't prepared for the out-come. Sandee please help her find all of her cage mates that have gone before her. They are quite a crew, Moxy, Baby, Mitzy, Sandy, Daisey, Toby, Bear, Murphy, Smokey, Bandit, Beaseley and Casey.Tell her, please, that I am so very sorry I was not with her when she crossed and that I didn't get a chance to tell her about the Rainbow Bridge. Please tell her I will always love her and miss her. Missing 13 "Little Angels" @ the Bridge Sally St. Germain and her 7 "Little Saints" Hi.....my name is Sally.....I am a ferret-a-holic!!!!!
