I"m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. Believe me when I say my heart grieves for your loss. Please know that he didn't leave alone. My little Pooka is running with him  . I will light a traveling candle for your sweet boy. Know that in the light of the full moon, our little ones are dancing, free of pain and fear. Their dark coats reflecting a new health while they play under the starlit skies. Look to the little one who is now alone, share your grief and learn to smile again. Your beautiful boy would never want to see you cry. Remember his love for life. Remember him strong and beautiful because that is how he is once more. Please know that we grieve with you over the loss of your beautiful boy. ciao |

*hugs* what horrible news. DIP Murtagh. I hope you can keep Izzy cheered up--a ferret nation of any size seems empty with only one inside.

I am sooo sorry! Murtagh was a beautiful boys. Ferrets are wondeful at hiding sickness. He didn't want to make his mommy sad, so he didn't act sick until his body wouldn't let him pretend anymore, I'll bet. Either way, you're a wonderful fur mom, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions. He loves you and is looking down on you from the bridge. RIP, Murtagh. I am so sorry. I am sorry you had to lose one you loved so much. I'll keep you and Murtagh in my thoughts!

thanks everyone... I am just so depressed about his... I had to let his breeder know just now, contacting her about just makes it feel too real... too sad... I'm trying to really focus on Izzy right now. She is *not* a happy camper, at all. Last night while I was trying to sleep I could hear her temper-tantruming in the cage - it sounded like she was tearing it all apart! She knocked all the ladders off but one, and two of the shelves off before I could go in there and get her to stop. It woke my Mom up and she asked me if she was looking for Murtagh I let her run around my room (again) while I fixed it... after a while I put one of my shirts in there, she tunneled in it and went to sleep. When I woke up this morning she had pooped in several places in the cage, not one time did she go in the box  and Izzy has been the most reliable ferret in the litter box that I know |

Since everything was in such a rush with Murtagh, she never got a chance to know what's happened to her best friend. It's going to take her a while to learn how to deal with this blow. You might want to invest in some rescue remedy for her for a while. It certainly won't hurt. Hugs to both of you |

Definitely get the RR for her! You'd be amazed how long bonded pets look for each other. Its been over a year since we had to put the family dog to sleep and Jimmy, our oldest garage cat, still goes and looks for him in the doghouse (he hadn't been in that for years even) with his other buddy cat Georgie. He'll just sit sometimes waiting for him to come home. Definitely help her grieve--and she can help you grieve too.

That's so horrible! I'm so sorry. It's bad enough when they go from old age or a life-long disease but so suddenly is the worst. Hang in there. I know it's hard to get through and nothing feels the same, but just focus on Izzy and it will help. As for Izzy getting depressed, just be sure to give her extra treats and LOTS of love. Most likely you'll find that making her happier and more comfortable will help you as well. I agree, Rescue Remedy would be great to get her right now. Also, some ferrets benefit from having the smell of the other ferret left in the cage, whereas others prefer EVERYthing to be washed and clean. Though I'd wait a while before cleaning it, since she didn't get to say goodbye. You're a wonderful ferret mom and you did everything you could. We're all here for you.

i'm so sorry for your loss - it's never easy and when it happens so fast, it's even harder to deal with
which breeder was he from?? i thought necropsy is a standard (on the contracts) when the illness (that caused the passing) isn't known?
