Subject: [ferrethealth] Thank you from Molly's Mom!
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
To everyone who send kind words and information about Molly's death, thank you so very much!
I am so lost without her right now. Every time I go out of the door I want to make sure she's ok and I still think I have to mush her food come feeding times. Every time I hear a noise I still jump to make sure she is able to go where she wanted to go. She still so very much controls this house.
It seems to be the general opinion that the meds were not the cause here, I'm glad. It scared me so bad because I remember something said at the first symposium in Toronto about not using any "Genetomysin antibiotics" ( I know the spelling is wrong) on ferrets?Specially in eyes I think, it could cause blindness. Does anybody else remember that?
It was just so shocking, the coincidence, the timing of it all!
I knew that I would loose her at some point but she was doing just fine for quite some time now. She was doing better after I stopped giving her the diuretics. Guess there were no xtra fluids in her lungs, just solid mass.
I had planed on having a necropsy done after her passing but there again....the lousy timing!
Everything happened in the late afternoon and when I called the clinic back they were already closed. I called again the next morning. The vet was off that day!!
I called my regular vet in St. Louis (one hour drive) only to find out that he was gone for the rest of the month. I had kept Molly in her own bed overnight and when I found out that I could not get her in till the next day, I put her in the refrigerator.
Needless to say I pondered about that all night and by morning I convinced myself that by now and after reading the necropsy write ups, it would be too late by tomorrow to get good results. I put her in her little box with her blankie and little mouse and placed her in the freezer till cremation. I was so torn up by then, I needed to put an end to this. All my ferrets are going with me when the time comes for me to go.
My heart has just been broken too many times.
Again, thank you all for your kind words. I appreciate you all so much!
Helga
