When my little girl got sick with ecoli, I thought about putting her to sleep. I didn't know if she was hurting or even if she would make it. She looked terrible, could barely walk, wasn't eating, and had bad diarrhea. Every time I thought about putting her to sleep I cried, I could not do it because I didn't want her out of me life. This was back in May. Now she is back to her normal self and is doing better then she did before. I don't believe that you should put Harley to sleep unless she is in pain. She is enjoying life, and her other senses will take over and she will be the same ferret. [Posted in FML issue 2806]
