Dear people, Fronsky died last night. He had a massive fluid build up in his abdominal region and his lungs. We were able to get to the night vet within 15 minutes, and they helped Fronsky to die in relative peace. I want to thank everybody who was kind enough to respond to my cries for help. Although part of me is angry and sad at not beeing able to keep him with me a lot longer I'm greatfull that he didn't suffer long and that him and me had an extra ten months after the initial diagnose and subsequent advise to have him put down on the spot. He was a full male and he had these extra ten months with everything a male ferret could wish for. Sex, walks, cuddles from his mates and me, and evenings sleeping and stinking away between me and my husband on the bed with my husband not complaining. I hope that he will be rewarded in his next live for the uncomplicated straight forward incredibly loving creature he was. I loved him with all my hart, and I miss him terribly. Kind regards Evelien Who still loves her ferrets very much. [Posted in FML issue 2862]
