Hello Fellow Ferret Fantatics: Some of you may remember our ferret Zeb, who went in for surgery recently. Here's the latest on his recovery. Zeb is recovering from his surgery beautifully. His bruising is completely gone and he's been permitted back with the rest of the Gang of Five. His hair is already starting to come back, and he no longer appears to be dehydrated. His appetite his excellent and he's playing like a kit. The pathology test came back. Here's what the vet said: "Zeb's spleen *is* cancerous, but it not with malignant tumors. It was presumed to be "Traumatic displacement of spleen cells", ie. he jumped or fell hard enough to cause some cells to separate from the spleen and then get upset and try to grow again." Has anybody else heard of such a thing? I have a hard time believing that Zeb could have fallen that hard and we wouldn't have noticed....
