Subject: Pumpkin is dead

I posted in May last year when my ferret "Sassy" died in surgery with
multiple organs involved in cancer. Well, I've lost another one. This
ferret was rescued from a bad situation and I thought to give him a good
life. He was about 2 years old and obviously adrenal. He had his surgery
yesterday and everything was fine other than his spleen had nodules and had
to be removed. The vet said all was fine and I could take him home even
though he was still a little logy. Well, he just got more lethargic and
finally died about 2:30 AM. I don't know what happened but I've taken him
back to the vet for a necropsy and should kmow more tomorrow. I'm now three
for three. The first two died at the vets after surgery and this one died
in my arms. Now I'm afraid to ever try again. I hope the vet can give me
an answer, I feel I did something wrong but I don't know what. Joan Roberts
