Last Trip To The Vet's Office Options

[joey]

First time poster here. I was refered here by a friend.

I have to take our ferret Gus,to the vet for his last visit. Gus is 8 years old and has a lot of medical problems. My wife and I have discussed that it is time to let him go. We think he is starting to suffer and can't watch it anymore. If our vet says that he can be helped then we will help him, but I don't really think that will happen.

Any good thoughts you can send me to get me through this appointment will be appreciated.

I will post more on Gus's condition tonight when I get home from work. I just needed to let a little of this out.

Thanks
Joey

Dear Joey,

I am so sorry to hear that your Gus is having medical problems. I know how hard it can be when you realize they have become sick and may suffer. I too am sending my prayers to you all. If Gus can't be helped, I'm sure you and your wife will make the best decision for him (even though it will be the hardest one you and your wife will have to make). However, Gus loves you and trusts you to take care of him, no matter what that may involve.
Please let us know what your vet says and what you all decide. Everyone in here is such a comfort! Whether you are struggling through a medical illness or healing an empty hole in your heart.

Hugs,
Cheri
