My poor little Mickey has lympo and the tumor is pressing up against her lungs. She has been having very labored breathing. I have been giving her 1.5cc pediapred and 1/4 dropper of lasix and .2 cc amoxi-drops. I have also been giving her Duck Soup 3x a day which she eagerly lapps up. On Sunday, she started bleeding from the mouth and has black tarry stools. I called the vet immediately , he said stop the pred and the other herbs I was giving her and gave me a prescription of 2.5 ml of sucralfate (liver) twice a day before eating and also 1ml of ranitidine twice a day. I just don't know what vet to trust, because I am sure that her bleeding gastric ulcers were caused by the high doses of pred that the vet prescribed! In spite of the bleeding, she has improved in the sense that her breathing is more normal, her gait when she walks is straight and she even likes to get up and play with her toys in the morning and at night! The mouth bleeding seems to be worse at night and when I wake up she has blood crusted around her mouth. Her gums and tongue are still pink and I am giving her extra pedialyte to help with the electrolytes. I will do anything to help my furkid... money will never be an issue when it comes to saving her life.,..after all money all gets recycled anyhow. I can eat top Raman for a few weeks. I am going back to the vet on Thursday....I have been to 3 vets so far. And this one seems more knowledgable about ferrets than the rest. If anyone out there has had experience with this happening with their fuzzies..please, please e-mail me... Thanks & Dooks to All, Dona Reid Mickey Baby Cosmo Suzi-Q [Posted in FML issue 2123]
