I just took in a little bald rescue boy.  His people didn't want him
anymore because he was no longer so cute without his hair and the kids
were supposed to take care of him and they weren't, etc.  The same old
story.Well, he went for surgery today and my vet was unable to remove the
tumor.  He said it was on the right adrenal and it is huge (as big as an
egg yolk, he said).  My vet thought he might be able to remove it, but
it would be a 50-50 chance the little guy wouldn't make it.  Since this
little ferret is happy and not really sick we decided to try the Lupron
route.  Has anyone had any experience with Lupron and a tumor this big?
My concern (and my vet's concern) is it may not be so effective against
a tumor this big.  Anything you can share would be appreciated.
 
Also, since it looks like this little guy is going to stay with me, does
anyone have any suggestions about how I can get him to leave the ears of
my other ferrets alone?  He is a relentless ear-licker.  I think my crew
would accept him if he would stop trying to eat their ears.
 
Dooks to all,
