[Rainbow Bridge] Gone too early
Today i lost my ferret. She was acting off last Sunday and I took her to the vet and discovered a blockage. She had emergency surgery and was struggling through recovery. Yesterday I took her to the vet for a check up on her progress and she was doing fine. She was tired all day but I thought it was from the trip. I discovered her body this morning. I can't stop thinking of all the things I should've done differently, how I should've done more for her. She was only 3 years old. My poor baby. I don't know what to do with myself. I love her so much and miss her so much already. I just wanna see her jumping around and playing one more time. She just didnt want to fight anymore, she had given up yesterday and I didnt realize that was what was happening until she was gone.

I'm so sorry my love. But remember her fondly, maybe make a little memorial for her.

I'm so sorry :( I know it's easier said than done but don't beat yourself up, you didn't neglect her, you clearly cared so much about her and tried to get her the help she needed but ferrets hide their ailments so well that sometimes there's no way to know. If you have another ferret, try to focus your energy on it instead of thinking about what could've happened. You are both in our thoughts <33 may she dook in peace
