Lynn,
How long has Kai had polycythemia vera, are there any symptoms, how long
between blood tests did you go and what was the blood cell count that
determined this? How is Kai doing? One of my kids just had bloodwork done and
the vet told me she had a slightly elevated red blood cell count. I asked
what would happen if it went up and he said it could trun into PV. In his
opinion it is very rare. He's only heard of two ferrets having it. He is
definately one of the most knowledgeable vets around and I don't believe he
has personally ever treated a ferret for this. So, I need to be as
knowledgeable as I can so that I can keep on top of things.
Thanks in advance for any info forthcoming!
Sincerely,
Tiffany, Cindy, Slinky and Oscar
