RIP Mij 11.10.12

Mij at 12 weeks old.

Mij improved dramatically after her initial operation and was almost back to her usual self all except for a sudden molt around April time; leaving her looking like a plucked chicken! She was happy and we were hopeful her hair would return and in the last couple of weeks more improvement was seen.

The lack of posts have been mostly due to inclement weather and hectic lives, we all apologise for this.

Regrettably on Thursday night we arrived home from work to find Mij severely dehydrated, we took her to the emergency vets who diagnosed her with enlarged pancreas a clear sign of insulinoma, a condition common in ferrets but unfortunately incurable, Mij was 6 years and 2 months old.

Stella and Mij
