Good bye #2

Yes, I had to put the other ferret down today. I knew it wouldn't be long after the first ferret went. When we lost the first ferret, I thought that this ferret might start feeling sad and do worse. But for the next few days , she did really well. So then I thought the other ferret had been stressing her out acting all weird all the time. But for the last 4 days she hasn't been doing well. She usually will have a bad morning or bad day and the next day seem better. But not this time. She either hasn't been able to get out of her bed and went to the bathroom in it. Or I would find her in the litter box unable to get out. She hasn't been leaving the cage either. Today I called Banfield but both the vets that see ferret were off. When I got home, I checked her. She was lying in the bottom of the cage and had gone to the bathroom on herself. It was bad. I washed her and then called another vet. They said they would see her. It was hard to wait in the vets office. I felt bad about wanting to put her to sleep and also worried that they would say, " she not sick enough to put down". But when the vet came in he said, "she looks like sh.." ( Inside I thought "O, Thank god, I'm not crazy ". He said he had no problem putting her down. She was really dehydrated so they had to inject her into her abdominal area. She went to sleep quickly but it took about 4 minutes for her to stop breathing. Poor Veasel. I'm sure she is much happier now.
