Subject: [ferrethealth] Last mad dash to try and save Romana (mass in stomach)
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
Romana is in very bad shape. Her regular vet can feel the mass but doesn't know what it is. Romana's temperature is below normal and she's lost weight. Her vet doesn't feel that she's a good surgical candidate and would like to do an ultrasound first. She also feels that Romana needs 24 hour care if she's going to make it at this point. The vet she's with has neither the ultrasound nor the 24 hour facilities. She wanted to transfer Romana to a speciality hospital I have never dealt with and I have no clue how good they are or aren't with ferrets so...
Romana is going to two hours in the opposite direction to a vet who has treated my ferrets before and who is one of the best (if not the absolute best) ferret vets in North Carolina. That vet is expecting her and has all the facilities needed and I trust her judgment in critical cases completely. An hour east or a couple of hours west wasn't going to make a big difference. The quality of the surgeon (which everyone including Romana's regular vet pretty much assumes she's going to need) will make a big difference in whether Romana lives or dies.
Romana's blood work is posted in the files section on Yahoo! Groups, Once again, please, if you know how to interpret the blood work, look at it and give any opinions or advice you can.
Please continue to keep Romana in your thoughts. I am terribly worried about her.
Regards,
Caity
