Puck, my four year old ferret who was hospitalized yesterday and on an IV for the past twenty four hours, passed away this morning. Most likely he had some sort of mass in his kidneys. He was my resident trouble maker - SOOO quick at making a beeline from the cage door to the coffee table - and toppling whatever drink I had sitting there. He was adopted along with Pan as a bonded pair from a shelter three years ago. I was happy to see Pan wrestling with Jack today as my other two remaining ferrets, Roxy and Sassy have Adrenal and Insulinoma and I don't let him get too rough with them. I'll be keeping an eye on Pan, though, to make sure he doesn't seem depressed that his lifelong pal is gone. Here's a few vids of Puck. He was quite the character and I miss will his trouble-making ways. Ever notice how ferrets seem to live up to their names? Puck was the mischievous sprite" in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mriMP5VZ-hU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN1P1zvdgWE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohQ2zZWmyjo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1NTPZm2YO0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnhapW-fSfk [Posted in FML 6837]
