Daily Vet Poor Little One-Eyed Ferret

A beautiful Thursday in Miami. A slow day. Lots of cute, fluffy pets with no problems.

Except…

…for the poor little ferret with a horrific eye tumor. It’s been a long time since I saw such a horrible thing. How sad—ferrets seem to get a disproportionate share of the cancers in this world. Perhaps they were never meant to live as long as they do. They get such great nutrition and enjoy such a high quality of life in our homes that they live well beyond their bodies, pre-programmed years. The result is that their cells start to display the unruly behavior of the aged. That’s my theory, anyway.
