As some may recall, I wrote a few weeks ago about Bandit, my ferret who suddenly couldn't use his hind legs. I took him to the vet on Monday, and they found that he had Lymphomia (sp?). I brought him home on Tuesday, and I had to start force feeding time some Sustical. On Wed., he started to eat a small amount of solid food that had been soaked in Sustical. Yesterday, he refused to eat again, so I forced somed Sustical into him again. I feed him several times today, but he's fading very fast. It appears that there's nothing I can do for him now, except let him die, happy, in his own house, with the people that he loves. This is a bad time for me (some of you may remember that I lost a ferret, Pepper, 2 years ago, a few days after Christmas. This year, Bandits dieing, and my mother goes into the hospital on Wed. to get a Masectomy.) Sorry to sound to negative at this time of the year. Positive things: Urban, I like those pictures. All the ferret-killing-cows stories. The ferret christmas carol. Merry Christmas everyone. Brian, Kitty, Ferrah, Bandit, Jake, Fletch, and Buddy. [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1052]
