Hello everyone, today I went to the vet with my first girl, Macy she's the queen bee. I have suspected Lymphoma for about a month or so and now it is official. The doc said that all of her lympth nodes in her body are large. I have had her on prednisone for about a month now. The cancer is taking over fast within a week her lympth nodes in her neck have gone from large to HUGE. I know I will loose her soon, I am doing everything I can for her. I feel its just too soon for me to personally go down the lymphoma road, I just lost my Betty Boop, she fought so hard but could only pull off another 7 weeks and 5 days from the time she was diagnosed. Betty Boop crossed the bridge on 17SEP2009 and it has taken up until here recently for the rest of the business to put the loss behind them. I have a little boy Rambo he stresses over EVERYTHING! I know that when Macy crosses over he will be on edge, he has been with macy ever since he was a kit. I will have to start him on carafate a few times a day to prevent ulcers. Does anyone know if theres anything else I can do to help deal with very stressed out ferrets? I know Rambo will be the worst one, but the other 3 will have a really hard time also. I will list my ferrets age, sex, and names if that helps any with the plan of action. Macy, Sprite age 5 to 7 years Lymphoma Rambo, Gib age 22 months Diesel, Gib age 18 months Pepsi, Gib age 16 Months Tweak, Sprite 3 to 5 years; has neurological seizures from abuse at former home; also adrenal, responding to melatonin very well. Betty Boop, Sprite, age 4 to 6 years, Passed away 17Sep2009 Lymphoma in the small intestine. She was in the top 3 list for the worst biter award that has ever come into the shelter that I volunteer for. In the short 3 1/2 months that we had Boop, she went from bite to the bone boop to sweet hold me and cuddle me or I will act like I will bite you boop. Thank you in advance for your feed back. You can e mail direct or post back to the list. Gerald Stewart Four Paws Ferret Boarding/rescue (not a shelter) Renton Washington [Posted in FML 6496]
