We have a sick ferret, and we are afraid it could be cancer. He stopped by =
eating and lost a lot of weight and was getting weak (sl=F8v). We took him =
to a vetenary and got som blood work doen on him. The doctor feelt a soft s=
welling/tumor near the kidney area. He is beginning to eat again. He is sto=
pped losing weight but he dont take on some weight. He has gotten a diagnos=
e that sound possibel: infektion near the kidney. He get 20 mg =93Ronaxan=94=
twice a day. Isn't this quite a lot?
He has no feber, heart dissounds, lungs missound, no glocose or ketone in t=
he urine. =
He is very thin (1.1 kg. He was 1.5 same time last year).He doesn't lose ha=
ir, he just don't get on a winter coat.(our 3 other ferret have winter-coat=
). =
Here is his values. We dont understand them. But kan see they are wrong. Ou=
r vet uses a german system but the acceptable ranges is different that the =
system on:

What numbers are the right. Do our vetanary uses a wrong system?
and + indikate the values that are interessanting. Because is is to high or=
law.The values in the ( ) is the acceptical range.
Can this be cancer and how can we get some weight om him fast? =
