Subject: Dale passed away this morning
Message-ID: <007101c4c054$6b39c330$36952c44@cg915699b>
Hi all. Just wanted to let you all know when I woke up this morning. Dale w=
as no longer alive. I have no idea what happened he passed away within 24 h=
ours of my finding him throwing up with a hairball.
Up until this happened he was acting normal. He was eating, drinking ,using=
the litter box and was so energetic. Once he threw up that hairball at 12:=
34am Sunday he was quiet not eating or drinking but used the litter box. I =
fed him some baby food and some water. I fed him a tiny spoonful every thre=
e hours or so. I went to bed this morning at 4am after I made sure Dale was=
fed and he seemed to be acting better. I woke up this morning at 8:15 am a=
nd he was gone. I cannot begin to describe how much my heart aches. I am no=
w left wondering what happened to him that he died so quickly?? He was a bl=
aze ferret and was first going to be three years old in December. Yes he wa=
s deaf but my vet told me that would not make his life expectancy less then=
any other ferret.
Thanks for all your help and I hope and will keep praying for all ill and s=
ick ferrets that they get better soon.
A sad Ferret Mom,
Michele
