With that said, I will never have another ferret. They all died very young and had horrible times with fleas, anemia, blood transfusions, and one had cancer. I loved them so much and it was very heart breaking |
Seems as if I remember that girl having to vet hers a lot, too. I know I was kind of shocked that an animal like that would have a lot of sicknesses. I don't know why, but I used to think that because an animal wasn't a pet, they were rather immune to lots of medical issues. But as I recall, she did talk quite a bit about having to stop off and leave or pick up one or both of the ferrets at the vet. I remember one of hers was named "Max" because she talked the most about all of the things he got into and destroyed but also what a total clown he was. She said you could not stay mad at him ever. She carried photos of the ferrets in her wallet just like we do our dogs!
