My Parris, age 3 was diagnosed with lymphoma last April. We started acupuncture in May. My 2 year old Black Lab has elbow displasia and has been getting acupuncture treatments for a year. It worked so well for him we decided to give it a try for Parris. She also gets a blend of Chinese herbs prescribed by the holistic vet. She is scheduled for another blood test next month, we'll see if there is any change. The only problem is trying to keep her relatively quiet so the teeny tiny needles stay in, one in each back foot and two in her back. I spread Ferretvite very thin on a plate, that keeps her occupied for a bit, then I carry her around to visit, look out the window, smell the plants, just anything to keep her still for 10 minutes. I am not saying this works (yet) nor will it replace treatment from her regular vet if/when that becomes necessary. So far Parris has no symptoms of lymphoma, other than blood test results. Both vets are considering her a good test case, as she is the first ferret (in their practice) to get acupuncture for lymphoma. He has treated for adrenal/insulinoma with good results in some, not so good in others. We are just hoping for the best for our Parris.
