I have heard many stories about ferrets getting sick or seriously depressed after losing a companion! They care about each other just as much as we do. Some people think having three ferrets is best for that reason. With so many ferrets needing adoption, you might be able to find a perfect new friend for both you and Jack when you're ready.

I lost my "little girl" Sarah on Monday 7/19/2010. She too had adrenal disease but was doing great and had gained a pound and all her fur back. Her death was so sudden. I took her and her companion Jack to a friends house and they had fun digging through the the grass and mulch around the house. All seemed find till Monday morning when I found her lying in vomit and unresponsive. On the way to the vet Sarsh was throwing up blood and had blood leaking from her rectum. I can still hear the pitiful sounds she was making and it breaks my heart. The vet and I agreed to end her suffering and she is now in my back yard with a few other beloved family members. The vet said it looks like poisioning. Most likely, from something used on the lawn that Sarah ingested. Jack is fine, but keeps wandering the house looking for her. Apparently he didn't come across the poision, but keeping a close eye on him. A word of warning. Always check your fuzzies environment before letting them roam. God Bless.

Have you tried contacting shelters or ferret organizations in your area and back home? Sometimes other ferret owners are willing to set up a chain of transportation to drive ferrets where they need to be. I know that pet-friendly airlines can be hard to find! Lisa, it does seem like once you've had animals in your life, you can never go without them. I adopted my youngest two ferrets after I lost my oldest two one after the other. Having them both then and now has helped us cope so much! Thank you, Gayle. A ferret really has a way of stealing your heart.

There is nothing that I can say, to help your pain, I know that. My Molly and your Trouble are look-a-likes and I feel your pain, in a different way. I moved from AZ. this February to CA. I don't have a car, so I was unable to drive with my little girl. I was afraid the flight would kill her, knowing what the height does to human ears, as much as I Love my baby, I did not want to put her life on the line. A wonderful woman, who was my bus driver is her 2nd Mommy. She & her husband have had many Ferrets & other critters over the past 20 years and I know she is Loved. I am able to see her when I go to AZ., I get pictures and we talk on the phone. I carry her picture in my wallet and show her off. But, I miss her so much and I still cry. She was my 1st Ferret and I had never laughed so much in my life! I had no clue that I could cry this much, either. Molly, if your reading this, "Mommy Loves You So Much".... God Bless All.
