Pandora's had insulinoma for about a year now. She had surgery for
it last year but in recent months it's been getting worse. She's
been on high doses of meds to control it. Yesterday she went in
for a second surgery. The surgery turned out to be more involved
than we expected. We removed a fair bit of diseased tissue from her
pancreas and even part of her bowel. It was no surprise that she
needed such strong meds to keep it under control and even so she
had been going downhill. If she had pulled through the surgery
probably would have helped a lot, but it was too much for her.
She died in her sleep today around 2:00.
She would have been 8 in May. Today she's just 2 months shy of
being the oldest ferret I've ever had.
Today would also have been Tommy's 7th birthday if he had lived.
Not a good day today, ferret-wise.
I'm now without ferrets for the first time in almost 17 years.
