Hi Jen,
One of my ferrets was diagnosed with JL and received chemo, quite
successfully, for 3 years. The only side effects in those 3 years
were hair loss and (no kidding) maybe 4-5 days of diarrhea sprinkled
in in all those years. He went into remission quickly and stayed
there until his death at 4 years of age which was totally unrelated
to the cancer. If you want the protocol that mine was on for your
vet's info., then e-mail me privately and I will hook you up!
Sincerely,
Adrienne
