Several days ago I posted some questions about Abby's abdomen, asking about ascites. Well, we did go to the Vet on Monday and got an answer. Along with insulinoma, Abby has Lymphosarcoma. It has come on very quickly since her surgery a month ago. The good news was, her glucose was finally over 100. She is still curious and able to get around even with the swelling in her abdomen and legs. She also has swollen lymph nodes near her front legs. She doesn't act like she is in pain and I'm thankful for that right now. Our vet hasn't had good luck with ferrets and chemotherapy and I'm not sure that's in Abby's best interest. I was told that she probably won't be here for Christmas. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I hope that Abby can spend her remaining days at home enjoying life and without pain. Any suggestions about making her comfortable in the meantime would be appreciated. Our vet suggested warm baths but Ab hates water. Would a heating pad decrease some of the swelling? Once again thank you for being here. It helps to communicate with others who are just as crazy about their ferts. Nancy Eyre [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1731]
