Little Tobra who slowed down a bit, then gave an appearance of a stroke, then poof, got better is in serious trouble. A total of 6, yup 6 blood tests came back negative on anything, except a theory of the beginning of Insulonoma. Although she is acting fine, eating and drinking, she has gotten the characteristic swellings under her arms. I will not subject her to Chemotherapy. I have heard that having her lymph nodes removed may help. "May" isn't good enough. I do not want her to spend a single moment of the time she has left in pain from surgery or sick from cancer treatments for only "may". Gary H: If you took the ole computer with you to Colorado: Sorry, Dan re- arranged the office and I can't find a darn thing! The entire file of your E- mails, etc., is MIA, and my browser isn't finding your page. Tobra is getting a little more of the tonic direct from syringe daily and I need some more - let me know where to send the money. Also, is there anything else out there I can give her? I have not taken Tobra to the vet for this. Lymphosarcoma has always been a death sentence regardless of how hard I or the vets tried. It is time to try something new. If I lose my little Tobra, it will be at home, surrounded by her brothers and sisters, when she is ready. PS: It sounds like little Riz in New Mexico will be leaving us soon. DD called yesterday and is really having a hard time of it. Words of encouragement from anyone to DD c/o [log in to unmask] would certainly help. DD is a great mom and loves that little boy fiercely. Most of her friends are not ferret people and are not understanding what she is going through. Anyone have kind words for a stranger? Hug your fuzzies often.
