Deanna died last night at the vets. Mr Doherty did a pm the same evening and phoned me later with the preliminary findings. Deanna had lymphosarcoma, the vet had come across a small tumour in her abdomen but he said that wasn't the one that had killed her. He did say something about other small tumours and probably some in her brain but he hadn't looked there because he'd seen enough. I will be collecting her from the vets sometime today. What shocked me was that until mid-day yesterday Deanna had shown no signs of the cancer which so rapidly killed her. Deanna was the only one of my ferrets that wasn't a rescue. She would have been 3 years old in March. Gone to join Jill at Rainbow Bridge.
