I have a question for everyone... I posted to the Ferret Health List not too long ago about kindey failure (renal failure) in my ferret Mondo. I received a good deal of information and it helped out greatly! Since I didn't post my question on here, I'd like to do that. Hind sight being 20/20, I should have cross-posted because I'd like to know what experience those of you have had here on the FML. Would you mind sharing those experiences with me? You don't necessarily have to post them to the FML if it is too painful but I'd really like to be as prepared as possible. So you know, Mondo has cysts on his kidneys and his liver. He's an eight year old (on April 1st) Marshall Farms boy. I've been fostering him for the Planned Ferrethood Shelter since August of last year. Yes, I knew that his kidney condition was permanent and terminal. He had a bilateral adrenalectomy this past December 29th. Dr. Weiss also removed the lower lobe of his liver along with a large growth of cysts. He is doing well right now but I'd like to know as much as possible. After seeing his organs in December, Dr. Weiss gave him about 4 to 8 months. If there's anything you can think of that would help me, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I don't have any experience with renal failure. Thanks in advance for your help. Special hugs to those who are mourning the loss of a loved one (fuzzy and human...) and those who are currently fighting the battle. Sincerely, Erin [Posted in FML issue 3355]
