I would like to ask everyone that believes in such things to say a prayer for a beautiful little ferret that gave her life today in the pursuit of an answer for the "mystery illness" that has befallen many young ferrets. She was very ill and with little hope of recovery, but I'm sure it was still an extremely difficult decision to euthanize her prior to attempting treatment and possibly tainting an investigation into the cause.
No names will be mentioned because I know the person does not want consolation or notoriety, just an answer to this terrible disease. It was a decision that I don't believe I would have had the strength to make, though it really was the right decision.
Please take a private moment, hug your ferrets and give thanks to her for the ultimate sacrific towards finding an answer.
