Ok, Vet's results and backup story : Douk went thru surgery for an interssusception 15 days ago.checking for anomalies, the vet spotted out an enlarged spleen but saw no easily discernable lymphomes he could remove...fixed the duodenum and sent the ferret back home. He ate ok for a few days then suddenly became weak and refused to eat.. Back to the vet with blood screening : Way low of course. As he just have been thru surgery, removing the spleen now seems a bit "too much" so the vet decided to put him under prednizone. We have to forcefeed him because he doesn't want to eat.... but he gladly accepts bread and butter, go figure... We won't refuse him that, for sure ! So, Prednizone it is... Could this buy him a few quality time ? I know it won't cure Insulinoma and that the back lash will be definitive. Does removing the spleen helps a lot ? Even if he went thru surgery like 15 days ago ? how much time will it buy ? Darn, I'm SO sad... SoMK [Posted in FML issue 3714]
