I'm going to have to make this decision in the next week or 2 for my oldest ferret. Saturday night she was screaming in the other room like one of the cats was trying to kill her. When we ran in she was thrashing around on the floor screaming. Nothing was attacking her.
The vet did some x-rays and she apparently has terminal bone cancer and her bones are so weak that we can't even let her be near the other ferrets. She can break something just by walking around. I don't think there's any real treatment available because its so advanced. The poor thing cries if we don't pick her up carefully enough and her back legs/lower back are starting to drag when she tries to crawl.
