Subject: Re: treating lympho, but now hair loss and what looks like
seizures?
Poor little guy. Sounds like he's sure going through a lot. I don't
have any personal experience with Lympho, so I can't comment on
that. It does sound like he might be having some minor seizures as a
result of low blood glucose. Seizures can look pretty scary, but I
don't believe there's any pain involved. The prelone should be
helping, but I don't know how lympho might affect things. What kind
of dose is he getting?
Hair loss with adrenal disease isn't usually sudden. The hair loss
that has been going on for a few months does sound like it could be
adrenal related. Some of the other health problems may be a
contributing factor.
Some ferrets definitely live past nine years, but it's not that
common. I've heard of 14 year old ferrets, although those are
unverified claims.
