Rose was one of the saddest cases the rescue had to deal with. | |||
Raw story from discord, needs some editing: | |||

The new ferret in the ICU made it through surgery. | |||
The object is theorized to be a Macademia nut shell. | |||
Attempting to digest this would explain the liver toxicity. | |||
We still don't know for sure but this object is very plant/shell like in composition. | |||
I will be sending it off to a lab to confirm after this is all over. | |||
We have very few options here so we're taking what we can. | |||
Lucky and Beans are about to be in-transit to do a blood transfusion. | |||
Ferrets don't have blood types so there shouldn't be any complications. | |||
Best chance she has. | |||

Good News: The objected swallowed by the little one does not appear to be toxic in nature. | |||
Bad News: The old owners waiting 8 goddamn days to solve this caused her to go into Hepatic Acidosis. | |||
This condition is caused by starvation and can easily lead to death. | |||
She went into full Jaundice and her liver was highlighter yellow. | |||
After the blood transfusion her Jaundice has mostly disappeared. | |||
Right now we have her on fluids and are trying to manage the rest of her vitals. | |||
It's basically whack a mole but the direction is positive so far. | |||
Today was the "Do we keep going?" meeting and we opted to keep going. | |||
Because she is so young (6 months) and the direction is positive it makes sense to do this. | |||
We're going to have the meeting again in a few days and keep playing whack a mole until then. | |||

I'm sorry to say she did not make it. | |||
Shortly before I ended the stream she went into cardiac arrested. | |||
We made it there in time to say goodbye and nothing else. | |||
We're going to be getting a necropsy to identify some of the causes that the treatment failed. | |||
This should help the vets involved to treat cases like this better in the future. | |||
It may not save her but it may save others. | |||
We're also getting a pawprint in clay and a wooden urn for her and renamed her to Rose. | |||
That way her name is not tied to the conditions or people that caused this preventable death. | |||
When the new version of the ferret website is ready she will be in the memorial section. | |||
Thankfully I was able to get a photo of her when she was brighter early in the day. | |||
This is not the outcome we wanted but we did everything we could. | |||
It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. | |||
That is not a weakness. That is life. | |||
