Sad!

[_sludgefactory]

I think my ferret is dying and i can't stop crying.

Aww, that is very sad. :( How long have you had it and how old is it?

8 years

Ahhh that's so sad. My very first ferret, Kermit, died of Canine Distemper, back when I was in highschool. It was heart breaking. I did go on to have several more, later in life and bred them for awhile. I'm so sorry for you!

Thank u. He just seems like he doesn't have anything left. Have him a treat and he didn't eat it, let him come out and he just wants to go right to sleep.

Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Not sure if you're religious, but thoughts and prayers sent to you and your little guy/girl.

Thank u. He is just chilling right now. Tired and sleepy. Not like he ever was before. He knows.

If he's still alive tomorrow, take him to the vet. You never know, he may just be sick.

 

[_sludgefactory]

It's not sick. He been getting slow over the post few years. He plays less and less. I'll see what i can do though. It's not my first one though.

I guess it's a cruel juxtaposition to my own mortality.

It's like with dog years, 7 to 1. Ferrets are 10 to 1. I've seen it coming.

I put my ferret down after 9 years. The last 3 months he was dying from kidney failure and eventually started having sesures occationaly. When the sesures got too bad and were a daily thing the vet said the best option was to put him down. I put him to rest at the vet and had him cremated.

Mine was a silver one and looked similar to yours.
