Thought you might like to know that our Cujo is still hanging in there.  He
is on Lysodren twice a week and has been put on Orbax (anti-biotic) once a
day and Euluxin once a day.  The latter is a human prostate cancer drug.
Dr. Shaffer warned that Cujo is now in the "experimental" stage as far as
medications, but this combination seems to work.  In addition to the
prescription medication, we also give him saw palmetto, colloidal silver
and Timmy's Tonic.  When we let him out at night, he sometimes will be
walking along and just jumps six to eight inches straight up and runs off
chuckling.  I cannot feel any mass in his lower abdomen anymore.  This from
a ferret whom I was told in May had a "guarded prognosis".  He is a tough
little critter.  His abdomen has been totally bald from the last surgery in
May, and he lost most of the hair from his head shortly after starting the
Euluxin.  Last week, both head and tummy started to regrow hair.  Amazing.
I don't know how long this treatment will work for him, but after 5 major
operations and three cyst drainings by needle in the last year, we look at
every day as a gift.  As long as he is otherwise healthy and continues to
run, jump, dook and attack like a kit....we will do what we can to give him
as many more days as possible.
