We got a 6ish year old little girl yesterday. She looked to be in good health and acted like it. When she was a kit she was abused but was rescued by some fine ferret people, who helped her through her fear. She was a cuddlier and as sweet as could be. I cuddled with her for an hour last night as she fell asleep in my arms. Through the day today she go up and down to eat, drink, and use the litter box. Because we have two ferrets who do not like newbies we decided to give everyone a bath. This has helped when we got new ferrets before. We gave this new girl (Buffy) her bath and she behaved just like any other ferret did after a bath. She ran around rubbing on the floor and towels to dry off. She was almost completely dry when she started to act funny. She didn't want to walk any where, just wanted to lay there. We gave her more attention and tried to give her ferretvitte or ferretone, but she wouldn't take any. We put some on her gums and in her mouth anyway. There was no change except to be more limp. We rushed her to the vet but she passed away in my arms on the way. I can't understand what happened. Thanks Mike [Posted in FML 6759]
