It's a sad day and I am so devastated. After losing Hanna only one week ago, now my beautiful albino boy Rylee is gone. I noticed yesterday that he seemed weak and was having difficulty walking. I think his insulinoma may have returned and I planned to take him to the vet Monday to get his blood glucose checked. I got up at 3am this morning and again at 7am to feed him and he managed to eat. I could tell he was fading and so went back to bed and took him with me to have him close to me. He died this morning at 9:30 while I held him. I can't take much more of this heartbreak, having lost 3 ferrets, Zach, Hanna and Rylee within just a few weeks. And, just before the end of last year, Tyler died. Rylee was a rescue from the local animal shelter when he was young. I'm not sure how old he actually was but I estimate his birth date to be late 2002 or early 2003. He was my birthday present to myself in 2003, having picked him up from the shelter on my birthday in October. I only have 2 ferrets left (both 7+ yrs.) now and life doesn't seem the same after having lived with so many ferrets for so long (19 at once several years ago). It's strange not having them under foot and running around the house. I don't think I'll ever get used to having the house and my life so quiet. Thank you FML friends for all the e-mails the past few days when I lost Hanna. It really helps and I know you all understand what it's like to lose these little guys - it's so hard.
