On Thursday, approx 6:30 we had our little girl ferret put down, it was a result of a traumatic 3 day saga which began with an emergency visit to a not so local exotic vet. Unfortunately no one can really treat ferrets that well except for a tiny handful. The week started with a call at 5:40 pm to this vet, they agreed to stay open past 6:30 for us, but would charge afterhours fees if we could not make it on time, which is fair enough.
Fortunately my driving skills do pay off sometimes, we make the 1 hour peak hour trip in 35 minuets.
After talking about different alternatives and out comes, we received a call today saying that this ferrets case was interesting. To be honest with you, you never want to hear from a doctor or a vet that something is interesting.
We later had a call at 4:30 that we should start to come into the vet because of difficulties.
This vet did all he could, and for that we are extremely grateful. But unfortunately we had to make the decision to euthanize our little baby. She was 3.5 years old and is now buried in my parents front yard with our other pets.
I think our 2 boys will miss her as well; its been just one of those days.
