    Pippin was in for a check up on August 17 and got a good report.
    On Oct 3 I picked him up to test his blood and felt a large mass in his abdomen.
    The vet has given him some pain meds and he has been eating and even playing on occasion the past week.
    We have been on borrowed time but still he has continued to amaze us all these weeks but today he let us know he is ready to go into the light.
    In the end the diabetes resolved but the tumor took him anyway.
    He will be set free this afternoon at 5 pm central time, please spare him a thought and a prayer, he is such a special guy, I know, they are all special but Pippin even more so than most and my heart is breaking to have to say goodbye.
    These will be the last pictures of Pippin taken today.
    [​IMG]
    You can see how the tumor has invaded his whole abdomen

    This was only a week ago, thats how fast it grew.

    I will miss him coming out and inspecting the grocery bags every single time, looking for his precious peppers, he was always there when we get out of the tub to make sure our feet were properly dried, oh how he loved his soupies and how I loved hearing the slurping and little noises he made when he ate it.
    We love you so much Pippy Lou, you have enriched our lives so much and you will be so very very much missed by us all.

    We've always thought of FDMB as meaning feline diabetes message board. I'm sure Pippin thought it meant ferret diabetes message board in his honor. You'll be missed Pippin. You taught us much about your species.

    My heart is truly broken.

    I just got home and it feels so empty, how could one little ferret fill up a house like he did?
    He went into the light very gently and with dignity in my arms, filled to the brim with love, as it should be.

    I am sorry I am not handling this too well, I will come back when I get myself together and tell you more tales of Pippin the sugar ferret.

    Oh, Deb, what a sad day. No words can make such a loss bearable. But Pippin (and you!) were trailbreakers, you know. You proved that diabetic ferrets can be treated - what an accomplishment!

    We were fortunate here to have the privilege of "knowing" you and Pippin, Deb. And I know that I will never again look at a pancake without a tiny smile and a thought of Pippin.

    I wish I could give you a hug.

    I am so sorry for your loss. When I first came to FDMB, I never quite knew what to make of a ferret being here. It made me stop and give pause. What was so clear was the delight and amusement you took in Pippen and all of the furry crew. From surprise, I came to join you in being amused and delighted. He will be missed and he will bring a smile to my heart. I am sure all of our LL family will greet him at the Bridge.

    Deb, I can't believe it. This is such shocking news. No words can express how truly sad it is to see this post. You know how much we all loved your dear sweet Pippin. All the pictures we loved so much. You taught us so much about ferrets in your journey here with him. All along your struggles to get him regulated first on Lantus, then Levemir and then back to Lantus again. He is indeed a 'poster child' for diabetic ferrets.

    I am so sorry. I know your heart must be breaking in two right now. You were such a good mama to him. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that and know that he knew that too.

    Love you Deb, Pamela

I know you have worked very, very hard to treat him and done an excellent job of caring for him. He'll be sorely missed. :cry:


    Safest of journeys, dear Pippin!

    Oh Deb, I am just seeing this. I am so, so sorry. Pippin was such a special guy to all of us and he will never be forgotten. There are many hearts breaking with yours tonite Deb and many tears being shed over the loss of one so dear. You took such good care of him and sent him off on his next journey surrounded by your love and safe in your arms. Nothing I can say will make the heartache go away or make his loss any easier, but please just know that our prayers are with you.

    Fly forever free dearest Pippin. You will live on forever in our hearts.

    (((Deb))) I'm so sorry to see this. I remember when Pippen first came here. We were all so excited to meet you both. I always loved the bathtub snow pictures.
    I'm really sorry, I know you will miss him so. I'm sure none of us will ever forget him. My heart goes out to you. You gave him a happy life and took the greatest of care.
    I've been out of the loop so I was sadly shocked to hear this.

    Fly Free Little Pippen, you will be missed and always remembered.

    Oh no, not another....

    Deb, you and Pippin have been part of LL since we started 2 1/2 years ago. I am so sorry to learn that Pippin has crossed over the bridge. I hope our recent sugar cats (Latte, Tuscany, Stu, Bear Man, Kasha....) were all there to meet their little ferret friend.

    I liked this quote that someone sent me after Tuscany went. " I have sent you a journery to a land free of pain not because I did not love you but because I loved you too much to force you to stay."

    Bye Pippin, fly free.

    ((Deb)) I am so sorry to see this - sweet Pippin. How you and he have cheered our daily lives with the antics, the pictures, all of the love we've seen him give to you and you to him. He is indeed so special and has been such a part of our lives here on FDMB. I remember telling Dr. Dan about Pippin and the smile on his face when he heard how well he was doing with your loving care.

    Those of us who have been on here will not ever forget this little guy - I have pictures of him filed away with my "kitty pictures" - and have loved each of your posts about him. The Board will be a much quieter, somber, lonely place without him on here with his antics.

    Isn't it just the pits that we work so hard to overcome the damned diabetes and we make progress and then something like this happens. It seems so unfair.

    My heart goes out to you but you have no choice but to take away his suffering - seeing how fast this has grown and taken over his little body is so cruel. We will however always remember him with a huge smile - and I'm sure there are a multitude of kitties gathering around him right now welcoming him to the Bridge - and they will scamper and play with him - remembering him from here as one of "them."

    Sending you many comforting hugs and prayers and please know that we shed tears with you tonight at having to say goodbye to such a sweet little being.

    Emmy & Dude (& Mittsi too)

    Deb, I'm so sorry. I was shocked and surprised to see your post. You and Pippin were trail blazers ... I remember your first posts well. A diabetic ferret? Are you kidding me? Wow, how far you've come and how enlightening your journey has been for the rest of us. Thank you for sharing Pippin with us.

    {{{{{{Deb}}}}}} I'm sorry for Pippen's loss. I'm sure he crossed the Rainbow Bridge knowing how much he was loved and adored. He is free from his earthly pain but will always be near you trying to comfort you.

    The candle was lit, my heart is breaking for you--We will miss our dear friend Pippin, we will never forget you--You always made us smile..
    This is something I wrote for another FDMB kitty we loved, so I am sending it for my dearest Deb & Pippin as well:
    If you must leave, Go Softly,
    For we could not have loved you more,
    For you could not have been anything else but the love of our lives.

    OMG... I read this and thought... is there a second Pippin? What am I reading wrong... this can't be our Pippin... Oh Deb... I'm shocked and so very sorry I didn't read this yesterday, but we were gone most of the day....

    Deep, deep sadness.. and as Maureen said... There is certainly a fabulous get together still going on at the bridge. I knew something was up, as the winds were blowing away moisture yesterday... I'm thinking God didn't want tears to fall on earth, as everyone was welcoming Pippin to the bridge.....

    What a wonderful loving furbaby has just moved on. My tears do fall with yours... I'm so very very sorry for your loss.

    I am sitting here reading all these messages with tears in my eyes for all the love and support being shown to us.
    Thank you all so very much for that and for all the help and support shown to the token ferret who barged into your midst wanting help.
    He got that and more, he was welcomed with open arms and hearts.
    We couldn't have made it one year, 9 months and 2 weeks being diabetic without all of you.

    I am more at peace this morning, I woke up and just knew it was ok, he was in a better place
    I dreamed he was running through green fields and drinking from the ferretone stream, dancing in the sun and able to hide and eat all the peppers and pancakes his heart desires.
    There is a big hole in our lives but our hearts are full because he was a most lovable and inspiring little man who brought great joy to all he met.

    Until we meet again sweet pea.

    I'm so sorry to hear of Pippin's passing. He was such a cute little guy.

    I'd never known anyone that had a ferret before you joined the board and I enjoyed seeing all the pictures and the videos of him and his family. Thank you Deb for allowing us to share in his life.
