I am sad to report that my precious Clementine passed away on 11/15/12. I hate saying I ever had a "favorite", but she was extra special to me. She was the sweetest little girl ever. She was being treated for adrenal disease and insulinoma and may have had lymphoma as well, we were not sure. I had only been treating her for the insulinoma for about a month and she wasn't doing very well. She was on soup and pred 3x/day. She had little energy left. She had even been at the vet just a couple days before and her blood sugar was great. The night before she passed I found her lying at the bottom of her cage on her back, unable to move much and she kept pushing her head backwards in an odd way and couldn't right herself. I bawled seeing her like that. I held her and kept her in bed next to me, barely sleeping even after taking a sleeping pill. She still took some soup from the syringe that night and the next morning. I didn't even know if she would make it to morning. The next day, I took her to the vet where she said that based on her odd head movement and the fact that she had gone blind (her good eye's pupil was fixed) that she had a blood clot somewhere in her brain/spine (or cancer had spread) and nothing could be done. I made the decision to let her go to the bridge. She was around 6. I rescued her from Craigslist in Dec 2010 along with Casanova, Callie, and Coco (her BFF) who have all went to the bridge already. So now, I have a 4 year old albino boy Tesla, my last ferret. I got him about 2 months ago as a pal for Clementine since she was alone after the others passed. He's about 4 and he will most likely be my last ferret as I have other pets (dog, cats) with health issues and I simply can't take on more now. You might enjoy seeing a little video I made a while ago of Clementine & her "boyfriend" Coco (passed 5/24): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZktLJPqs_4 I watched it the other night and cried through the whole thing. I have been sick with a terrible head cold for 3 weeks now and am doing my best not to cry anymore because it is making it worse. Anyways, I miss you so much Clementine. I'm so glad I got to keep a lock of your fur - it still has your scent. I wish I would've got one of all them, but I never thought of that. Her ashes will be back this week.
