Subject: [ferrethealth] RE: Lymphoma/Spleen question
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com

We bought a digital vet scale to use at the house so the readings are
correct - and the spleen ballooned amost overnight to bigger than a ping
pong ball.

We couldn't do a biopsy because he was so dehydrated and weak. We are
trying to stabalize him for an exploratory but as of right now he wouldn't
make it. Mike, will a blood chemistry panel, like Sukie suggested, be
enough to explain what it is without a biopsy? I wish ferrets weren't as
complicated as they are and I also wish that living near the largest
teaching vet college in the US would pay off but sadly it doesn't. As much
as they say they 'treat' ferrets...they surely don't know very much when I
have an emergency.
