My ferret Sugar has been battling cancer for about 6 months now and this past week it's been very clear that she's losing her battle. I took her to the vet for the last time this afternoon. Even though she's been sick and I've been preparing myself, I can't believe how much this hurts.
Sugar was a rescue from a hoarding situation. She never did really warm up to people although she'd seek me out for treats. She loved the other ferrets though and they loved her. She was never rough with them and the new rescues would spend a lot of time with her. I think her calmness was comforting to them. One of my favorite pics of her is with her and Bella sleeping in the hammock. Bella loved her a lot.
