Hi Nichole,
Sorry to hear your ferret has lymphoma.
There are 2 products that can help the liver out.
The first is SAMe, and the second is milk thistle.
SAMe is the one with the most research in dogs and cats,
and it is both safe and effective. It is actually more
effective than milk thistle in most cases.
SAMe and milk thistle can be used together, but if you are
only going to use one, I would suggest SAMe.
Of course pred helps to reduce some of the inflammation
and should be used too.
The company called Nutramax Labs makes a SAMe and a
milk thistle product for cats (www.nutramaxlabs.com), so you
might want to talk to you vet about using them in your ferret.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
