Yesterday I posted asking if anyone had ever had a problem with the thinning of bones in a ferret, lower spine, Its has now been determined through numerous X-rays that my boy has a tumor that has attacked the lower part of his spine, and has eroded the right side of the vertebrae which has affected the use of his right leg. Because of the area in which the tumor has attached itself to surgery is not an option, and chemo is out also, what I need to know if anyone on the list has ever encountered a situation such as this, and what if any medical attention was given other than the ones mentioned above. I want to make his time with me as comfortable as I can and when it's time to let him go it will be peaceful without the trauma of surgery. Please E-mail any suggestions to [log in to unmask] With much thanks Jane Panagabko [Posted in FML issue 2243]
