Sukie is absolutely correct. The blood test on Parris did NOT indicate she HAS lymphoma. Just the possibility she does. Thank you Sukie for this correction. I should have worded my post more carefully. A follow up test a month later showed no improvement other than the calcium level was a little better. She is scheduled for another test next month. If she does not show improvement at that time, her vet wants to do an ultrasound and/or biopsy. She is an excellent ferret vet, and I'll trust her judgment. She had/has no signs of infection, (except perhaps the test results?) eats well, acts likes she feels just fine. I chose to try acupuncture while *waiting*. I also assume she has lymphoma, probably because I'm very gun shy after loosing 3 other family pets to it last year. I hope I'm wrong, God I hope I'm wrong.....
