Wolfy, thank you so much for your brave post on euthanasia. I hope more people on the fml share their experiences. A shelter Mom recently made a comment about a little one she had to put down and mentioned how she asked the vet to give them a shot to put them under first, so she could hold the ferret as it went to sleep. That was the first time it occured to me that their are options within euthanasia and a better way for ferrets and their owners to go through it. I never would have known. It is definately the kind of thing that owners should know before finding themselves emotionally in the place of the decision and not knowing what they can request. Thanks so much for sharing. I wish you and Sean (and of course Rocky) the best in this. Risa [Posted in FML issue 4878]
