Debbie, I
also am sorry for your loss. It is always hard when you try to do what
you believe is right for your pet, and it doesn't turn out the way you
want. I too have felt that the cost of vet bills are unfair when my
ferrets have either died or have come home worse off then when they went
in. In the past 8 years I have lost 6 ferrets and I have spent more
money than I would care to admit. even though most people in this group
would or have done the same. When we take on a pet, we also take on the
responsibility of their health care costs, which in the case of ferrets
are extreme at times. I can honestly admit that I would do it all over
again if I had to and I believe so would you. I also have to question
why your vet let you take Templeton home before he was awake and his
temperature was at least near acceptable level.
Take care, Mary.
