I'm not a vet, but there are two drugs that stimulate the bone marrow to
grow more red blood cells, Epogen and Procrit. Or if you have or can
borrow a couple of healthy ferrets you can give him a blood transfusion.
Of course you need to get those growths out of him as soon as his blood
comes up to normal.
