Subject: Any help,please!!!!!!!!!!

Hi my name is Marina and i am the owner of a 3 year
old ferret.
About 3 months ago I noticed that my ferret was
getting tired constantly
and he would lie on the floor all the time. His
condition worsned, his
legs cant support his body and he falls over constanly
he barely can
walk now. I took him to the doctor and the doctors did
a physical
examination, routine bloodwork, abdominal ultrasound,
radiographs,
. They found a small cystic (fluid filled) left- sided
abdominal mass
on abdominal ultrasound. The doctor collected a fluid
sample from the
mass for cytology and bacterial culture. And after
that the doctor
thought my ferret nedded an operation to remove the
cystic abdominal
mass but she is not entierly sure that the operation
will help. The
operation is expensive and I dont have the money for
it. Is there any
way to find out weather the operation is nessesary or
if there is any
treatment besides the operation. Also since I dont
have the money for
the operation is there anything like FreeCare for
animals? Where can
I find out about that? His condition is getting worse.

I appreciate any help and advise from anybody!
