Subject: [ferrethealth] possible oral mass squamous , cell carcinoma
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
my 7 year old boo boo had a sore pop up on her lip.. I thought she
had scratch herself or from figthing with cage mate.. they play
really rough... so I thought she might have gotten scratched or
bite ..Vet did a check on her last week.. said I should bring her in
today and he did a skin diagnostic package ... Cytology collection /
Interpret.. will get results back wed..He said could be one of these
three... Carcinoma , amelanotic melanoma or fibrosarcoma ..
He suspects the first one Squamous, cell carcinoma... It is on the
inside of the lower lip... He said it was deep ..He does not know if
he will be able to remove all of it...
She is scheluded for surgery on friday... He wants to wait on labs to
see what he is truly dealing with , and to confirm what he thinks it
is...Boo boo had been a healthy ferret until now..
Can anyone give me some information about this squamous cell
carcinoma.. I am guess that is the most serious one of the three...
what is the survival rate of this form of cancer if she has it..
I brought her home about 30 minutes ago.. she ate her puree soup and
ran around played with cagemates and now nestled in her basket.. she
just does not seem to let it get her down.. Is this average age to
deal with this form of cancer....
Thanks,
Breanna
