Harley is a ferret we have in our shelter that was originally diagnosed with Lymphoma. Over the past 2 days, his right eye has swollen so large, it looks like it will fall out. It has always been swollen, but not like this. He was never properly diagnosed via needle aspiration due to insufficient funds. The Dr. just assumed he had Lymphoma. His symptoms are swollen lymph glands, "rattle" in the cheast, swollen right eye, unable to open his mouth all the way, and a "milky" white glaze in his left eye that the Dr. commented looked like feline leukemia (but ferrets don't get that). Other than that, he acts like a normal 8 month old ferret. He is hyper, investigates EVERYTHING and has not lost weight. I just don't know what to do. I can't afford another opinion from another Vet and I am not sure how much surgery will be for him. I am assuming that he has a tumor behind his eye. Can that be fixed? Can that cause the swollen lymph glands? I am gathering that if the surgery can be performed, he will lose his eye which does not matter to me but, has any shelter had difficulty adopting ferrets in this way? If I have to keep him I will, I just don't want him to die. Anyone with any info can please e-mail me at [log in to unmask] or mail me at 1198 Saturnia Cres, Mississauga, Ontario L4Y 2M3 Please do so soon, I am worried about this fuzzy. Thank you.
