SarraFerret, Would you please greet Mika for me? She just passed away in my arms at the age of 8 1/2 years old due to screaming sezeirs from her insulinoma. I had gotten Mika in October of 1999 as a breeder. She had one litter, a daughter-Nadia, a son-Yowler, and 2 still born daughters. Her son Yowler died at the age of 15 weeks from a granmal sezier from Epilepsy. When this happened I leaned that ferrets have the same emotions that we humans do. You see, Yowler died while Mika was holding him in her paws. She literally cried tears that night night. Her husband Oden died a couple of years ago. Mika was fantastic mom. She raised 2 kits from another litter for me. Mika and her daughter Nadia have always lived together and were the best of friends. Could you please make sure that Yowler, Oden and her 2 baby girls are there to greet Mika with you? I love her so much and I wish she could have stayed longer, but I guess she felt it was time to be with her son and husband. Thank you Sarah Ferret. Hugs and kisses to all the furkids at the Bridge.
