Tomorrow I will be bringing our almost 8 years old ferret to the vet. Every night we hear him ‘ crying’ in his sleep, like he is in pain. My husband and I have already discussed about letting the vet put him to sleep as our main concern is that we don’t want him suffering from any pain , if there is any. It’s rather difficult to know what to do at this stage. Two years ago we had to take a painful decision of letting Danielle be put to sleep (a female ferret) because of cancer. I, and I know my husband too, do not want to go through that pain again. We love our pets.

Jacob is still eating, drinking, but acting confuse most of the time, no longer using the toilet properly, has weak hind legs and one eye is blind, due to cataract.

Just thinking about what would happen to Jacob makes me want to cry.
