Don't want to type much because this just happened. Took him to the vet because he was acting really lethargic and breathing hard. I left him there to have an Xray done and blood drawn. The vet called me shortly after I left to tell me he'd gone into respiratory arrest just after they'd Xrayed him and that his heart was barely beating. The vet thinks it was lymphoma as several spots showed up all over in the Xray. I turned my car around and went back to say goodbye to him. And he was gone before I got there. I can't believe he's gone - not my sweet Duncan. Just this morning he was pawing at the cage bars to get out. And now he's GONE. He was the sweetest of my ferrets. Always loved being held and would fall asleep in your arms - anyone's arms. This is the third ferret I've lost in the last five months. "The Seattle Seven" is now down to four - just like that :(!!!!! I can't handle this... www.ferretocious.com/duncan/duncan090305-2.jpg www.ferretocious.com/duncan/dunk041204-1.jpg http://www.ferretocious.com/duncan.html Laura [Posted in FML 5615]
