Hello Everyone, We had a ferret that got sick on this past Sunday. She was just at the Vet on the Tuesday before, and she was examined and pronounced healthy, except a little under nourished / weight loss. Sunday we saw that she was sick, not moving well and could not pass her bowels completely. She could not stand, and had very weak hind legs. She seemed to breathing funny also, heavy and hard. We feed her, and got some fluids into her and she started moving around some. We thought that she would be fine until the next morning, but unfortunately she passed away that the night. It was so sudden, and so quick. At least with our other ferrets who have taken sick or passed on for the bridge, there was a sickness period. A period where you could see that they were sick and try to treat it (medicines, surgery, etc.) and try to stop it. In this case here, with Nefertiti, she was sick one day..... and gone the next. It seemed like there was no warning or no signs. Has anyone ever experienced this? Have you ever discovered that your Ferret has passed away without you knowing that they were sick....Either you wake one morning and find them gone or you find them in the cage passed on. Either displaying signs of sickness or no signs of sickness, then all of a sudden within 24 hours, they are gone. It seems like a very strange way to loose a loved one. I know know what could have happened, nothing that we can think of. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Sincerly, Nicholas [Posted in FML 5700]
