Dear Miran, Steve, Gizmo, Scooter and Jaaaaaazper; My Timmy last Nov. was diagnosed with lymphoma, given 2-3 weeks, with "treatement to be of no avail". I listened to a friend of mine who has aged and sick ferrets from the Indiannapolis humane soc, who found they would eat Gerbers turkey rice when nothing else would work. I have since found their chicken vegetable is good too. I added some herbal tonic I found called PWS 2000 that I got for my chronic fatigue, some ferritone & clover honey for taste, & then Dr. Brown in Ill prescribed some Pet Tinic liquid vitamins, and Deliver 2.0 which she charges $6.00 per can for. I found by shopping pharmacies the price can be as low as $23 for a case of 12 here at Albertsons. Walgreens hit me for $32/case in Colo. A vet in Boulder added CoQ-10, 30mg cap., 2/10ths of one per day, and something called Immuplex 4960 by standard process co., Palmyra, Wi. 53156, that I found in a good health food store, 1 cap per day. By the time I got to Boulder, about 1 1/2 months later, the lymphome was 85% gone! He said the remaining 15% was very important to get rid of, as if it came back more it would be harder to fight. I've read the "Duck soup".txt file on the board & added KMR (kittenmilk replacement powder) to my "superfood". What Timmy doesn't finish, the rest of my herd devower. I also found feeding him with a 20 or now 35cc syring (no needle) seems to stimulate a sucking reflex so he eats more than from a spoon. (now up to 35cc 2 or 3 times a day). He recently has accepted something called Whiskas Kit Nips, that has liver for the second ingredient. He will free feed on this every 2 or 3 hours (great!) It has: Wheat flour, liver, soy flour, chicken by products, beef, chicken, fish, carob powder, natural flavors, spray-dried blood, salt, guar gum, taurine, vit.e., Vit.d3, Vit.B1, Vit.B2, vit.B6, biotin. Protein 25%, fat 4.0 (low), fimer 3%, moisture 12%. The protein blend seems good as it has 5 sources of animal protein, but as the fat is low & he isn't eating other stuff like the totally ferret I have available, he will continue to get the superfood, as will the others who seem to want it. Timmys' "super food": 1- 2oz jar Gerber Turkey rice, or chicken vegeteable 1 Tbl. clover honey 1/3rd can Deliver 2.0 (the rest of the 8oz can I put in 4 oz. Tupperware & freeze 10cc PWS herbal tonic 1-2 scoops KMR, kitten milk replacement powder contents of 2 caps of Immuplex 4960, Standard Process co. about 40% of a 30mg. CoQ-10 cap 1 Tbl Ferretone 1cc pet tinic vitamins I Free feed of Whiskas Kitnips. (currently only 1.1 oz. size but the company may come out with a larger pack. They are considering it since it is a new product). Hope this might help you out. Timmy is putting on more weight since he started the Kitnips, & I also feel better about it keeping his teeth cleaner than only a liquid diet. He also seems to have more energy lately to play with the others. He hasn't done that since Nov. of last year! Ferret kisses, Gary [Posted in FML issue 1143]
