TO: CATHERINE SHAFFER AND MIKE DUTTON, DVM Thanks to you both for all of the information you posted on the FML regarding ferrets and cancer. I found it to be very helpful. Cancer is such a terrible disease whether in humans or in our beloved animals. I am glad to hear that cancer prevention research is continuing. If it wasn't the alcohol that caused lymphosarcoma in Sobriety, then I guess it was just really bad luck. It seems so unfair when the ones we love are stricken by this horrible disease. Even though there seems to be no apparant link between alcohol and cancer, I would still like to remind everyone NOT to give their fuzzies (or other animals) any type of alcoholic beverage. I'm sure there is plenty of other damage that alcohol can do the system of an animal (not to mention a human). Perhaps one day, we will find a way to wipe this disease off the face of the earth forever. Julie and The Fuzz Factory --Misty and Charity In Loving Memory of Sobriety. [Posted in FML issue 1479]
