My little guy got diagnosed with lymphoma. His neck glands are swollen,
his spleen and his x-rays showed a growth in his belly They were not able
to get cancer cells from the needle biopsy in his neck only fat cells.
I didn't want them to do a needle biopsy in his spleen. His vet first
said 99% sure of lymphomia and with the x-rays, ultrasound, blood work
and high rate of ferrets getting lymphomia, then she said 100%. I didn't
want more tests, he was tramatized too much. I have him home and on
prednasalone. He is doing well. His neck glands and belly are still
swollen. But he sleps and eats and pops and cuddles. The only thing I
did differently then what the vet recommended is I give him his dose
split into twice a day instead of one big dose, once a day. am I doing
him a disservice? would once a day be better? I was just reading
someone elses post and I wonder if I am doing the right thing? Any
comments would help.
Thanks in advance.
