Hi,

I am new to the FML and haven't posted yet. I brought one of my
little girls in today Kali because she had a swollen abdomin. She has
been acting fine. Eating, drinking, active, going to the bathroom all
normal. After running a few tests the vets found that she had a very
big mass in her liver. They told me it is most likely cancerous. I
won't know for sure until they get the tests back. They said they have
never seen anything like this in a ferret. It came on very quickly and
aggressively. If it is definetly what they think it is they said there
is not really anything they can do for me and most likely she will go
down hill quickly. They have her on prednisone and amoxy drops right
now to see if that makes a difference. I was just wondering if anyone
out there has dealt with or seen this before and can give me any
advice. Im going to wait out the weekend and see if anything changes
and go from there. As of right now she is comfortable and nothing seems
wrong. I know she is probably not going to make it but I just want any
help just to prolong this as long as shes still comfortable. If anyone
knows of any holistic remedies I would love to hear about them. I am
very careful with what I feed and use around all of my animals. I only
feed high quality all natural diets. No corn, by-products, etc.. I
don't use any chemical cleaners around the ferrets. Giving her a harsh
drug like prednisone is killing me but I will do anything at this
point. Please if anyone can help I would love to hear. Thanks.

Torrie and Kali
