On 9/9 I lost my sweet little Joey to cardiomyopathy. He was a brave boy and hung on for a month after diagnosed. He stopped eating his ferret food and drinking, but he would eat cucumber, watermelon, banana, and Nutri-cal I offered him 4-5 times a day. He lost so much weight and was so tired. I was able to hold him more in the last month than he would allow in the whole time since I got him as a kit. He would have been 3 years old in November. Now my Gabby is very lonely and I am ready to find another ferret to keep her company. I would rather not get a kit. Gabby is a little bossy I and think she would do better with an another adult to share her cage, preferably 2-3 years old, and definately healthy. I don't think I could take the heartache of nursing and watching another baby die. I'm in Durham, NC. [Posted in FML issue 2072]
