My husband and I took our 4 year and 9 month old baby to be helped across the bridge. He had VERY aggressive lymphoma. It tore our hearts out to watch him quickly go down hill everyday in just two weeks. He NEVER had a mean bone in his body...........never bit anyone else when playing; ferrets or humans. Just the sweetest guy. He would come running at me breathing heavily and jump for me to catch him; that was one of his favorite things to do. He also loved to give his help with everything; and spent his time following behind me to make sure he was there to give me his assistance with everything. He will truely be missed.......... My question to everyone is : has anyone ever experienced in their ferrets ...loss of using their front legs. To the point of putting the front legs underneath them and pushing themselves around with their back legs?? He started out looking like he was walking sideways. Then by the next day he was stumbling alot and falling. Then the next day he couldn't use his front legs ..........just the back. He started out by losing weight and I took him to the vet to see what was going on on Nov 18th............nothing to be alarmed with the blood work........ hen we had to help him across the bridge on Dec 5th. He had got so bad that when he tried to turn around to potty.......he flipped over on his back. All of this has been so hard to take........when nothing you do will help; but to help them die. My husband and I want to Thank Zoo for all of her help. She is one of the most caring people?I have ever met; with a heart of gold. Thank you from the bottom of my heart; you will never know how much you helped, just by talking me through everything. You are the best and have given me a renowned hope in humans. Thank you, Missy [Posted in FML 6177]
