Thorn the ferret broke a tooth a month or so ago. It's not damaged the nerve, so he's fine, but it's got a razor-sharp edge and he's been slicing the other ferrets open when they've been playing.
Last week I took Eth to the vet with (what I thought was) a nasty non-healing bite on his leg. The vet said "hm", and asked permission to run some tests. The results came back today: it's probably cancer.
The weird thing is that, although he's not insured (I've never found a cost-effective pet insurer who covers ferrets) and we don't know the survival odds yet, the bit that upsets me most is I'm going to have to drive him to the vet's surgery on Friday and break my 100% cycle-commuting record for the year-to-date. Am I selfish and wrong?
