One of my babies, Tigger, was diagnosed with Lympho Sarcoma today - not a good diagnosis to hear, I know that much. The Dr. did a biopsy, so yes it's pretty certain. It appears she has cancer in her lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and intestines. She had recently lost a lot of weight (last 2-3 weeks), so it was pretty rapid, and she has been much less energetic of late, but not entirely listless. So I knew something was wrong when I took her in today. She is a little over 6 years old. I was given 3 options by our vet, 1. do nothing (not his recommendation btw), 2. chemotherapy infusions every few weeks, or 3. daily doses of prednisone to improve quality of life. I know everyone will have their own opinions as to the best course of action, but I opted for the prednisone. I am a very firm believer in the importance of quality of life, (in people and animals). My question is basically what things can I do to help her quality of life during her bout with the cancer? I would like to hear from other ferret owners who have had to deal with this, and hear what things they found to be helpful. I guess my basic concerns are how to keep her as comfortable as possible and how to fatten her back up a bit, or at least the very least, stop the weight loss.
