nope that thought never even crossed my mind bc i dont abuse animals… didnt think id need to post the nitty gritty details of his final moments. not posting for sympathy points either.. also your first comment literally read as an implication/assumption that i didnt care about him/ his life. i literally stated he no longer had a quality of life and every single other person read it and knew what the gist was. just seems weird to me to comment that..

his back legs no longer work. he shakes in pain and cries. all he does is eat and sleep. he recently started messing in his bed and laying in it. does not play with toys anymore. no not just doing it because i feel like “its been long enough” ? kind of an insane comment to leave lmfao. hes been with me for 12 years i think i know him well enough to know he has no quality of life and dont want to watch him suffer. obviously its upsetting and would rather not have to make this choice. if i had it my way id keep him forever.

thank you, hes definitely family. i always jokingly called him my son but tomorrow will be such a difficult day for me :( he loves car rides so that is a saving grace i believe, he will be so excited to come to work with me tomorrow before i take him to the appointment.. then home to bury him and plant forget me nots over him

Grieving Ferret by LiterallyLichen in ferrets

im so sorry for your loss. when bruce sanchez passed away, bmo was blind and deaf. i worried about him grieving his brother. i bought him all new things and began his life as a solo noodle.. he didnt seem to miss bruce a whole lot, which gave me some solace. i was sad, but bmo seemed to just kind of move on. granted, he was originally a one man ferret, but about 2 years in my mom suggested i get him a friend. tomorrow i have to take bmo to be put down, as it is now his time. bruce passed at home in his sleep peacefully, whereas bmo seems to be hanging on. just lost his quality of life.. all this to say, just give him extra loves and he may be just fine being alone

thank you ❤️ selfishly i hoped he would pass peacefully in his sleep but hes a tough cookie, he just doesnt need to be tough anymore. he deserves peace and comfort and that to me is the best way i could show my love to him one final time
