My baby kitkat ended up having JL and it was very aggressive. his poor
little body was full of blood and in his lungs and had a bleeder after they
took the fluid off his lungs it filled right back up after many sad sad
hours the outlook was not good.. we were gonna do a trasfusion but the vet
was not hopefull..he went to the rainbow bridge last night.. Please to all

Ferrets with JL generally present all of a sudden - usually when a
mass in the chest causes significant problems breathing. The liver
and spleen is usually also enlarged, but there is a lot of extra room
in the abdomen for them to grow, but space is at a premium in the
chest. Lungs need room to expand when you inhale, and anything
growing in the chest soon impinges on them.
