Goodbye Gwin
May. 31st, 2013 09:44 pmWe had to put Gwin to sleep last night. His health was quite a yoyo for a while, he'd seem like he would be doing really good (relatively) and he'd be off wobblingly getting into mischief. Followed by the next day lethargic and not terribly interested in food, and the next day good again. We think he had lymphoma, which apparently the reason for the yoyoing health.
He was actually doing quite well Wednesday, then Thursday he could barely move. Friday was no better. As he had gone from reasonable quality of life (though sick) to basically no quality of life it would be selfish to keep him hanging on just because I didn't want to let him go. So we let him go.
We're going to bury him this weekend.
Have some pictures of my furbutt near when we first got him. <3

Here he was exploring the bedroom. (The boxes are there because ferrets love boxes!)

What're you doing hooman?
( More early ferret playtimes )
Chaos seems to be alright so far. He's getting ALL THE HUGS from us atm so he's certainly not lacking for attention (he might even argue that he'd just like to go play nao thanks). I'm not sure if we'll get him another buddy, I want him to be happy but it's hard to think about that quite yet.
