Hello everyone,
I have written before about Ashton questioning his symptoms. I found out a week ago that he has cancer. He started with fluid in his chest, after that cleared, a bit, xrays revealed a mass that was spreading.

I refused any type of surgery and meds. Cancer can't be cured in humans how can a tiny ferret be healed.

I am at the point now when I am questioning what I should do next. He is eating his soft food mixture that I make him twice a day and he still has short periods where he runs through the house like always checking things out, but those activity times are getting shorter and shorter.

My question is, how do I know if he is in pain? What signs do I look for to tell me it's time to send him over the rainbow bridge?

I always appreciate the advice I get from your site.

Thanks,
Kelli and Ashton
