Bandit, our 6 year old female sable, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge last night. When I got home from work yesterday, I discovered that she was sick. She was awake, but terrebly congested and un-responsive. We rush her to the emergency clinic. The Vet there didn't really know much about ferrets, but she gave Bandit fluids under the skin, antibotics, and steriods hoping that this would help Bandit hang on until our regular Vet got back to town today. I brought Bandit home and kept her warm and tried to get her to eat and drink, but she never showed any improvement. Bandit was our first ferret, and she ruled the roost. Bandit loved to fly, and was the smartest ferret that I ever met. We all loved here so, and will miss her. --- Cliff, Clifford, Paul, Crystal, and Chewy PS -- Crystal and Chewy(our other two ferrets) are doing fine. [Posted in FML issue 2123]
