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

Thanks everyone!

Gus has pancreatic carconoma, an enlarged heart, and an adrenal tumor. About a year and a half or two years ago he had an adrenal tumor removed. He has been a fighter to stay with us and has had a long happy live. Our vet is a very kind lady. She has helped us with our first ferret, Kridder who passed of some of the same illnesses. After he passed our vet made a donation to ferret medical research in his name and sent us a card stating what she did. We both cried when we read it.

I think his time has come. We will let him go to play with his late playmate Kridder and Moose (our cat we lost 2 weeks ago to fatty liver, diabeties). They will meet us later when we come to join them.
