Dr. Jerry,
I do not have the specifics on the blood work that was done about 3 weeks
ago. all I was told is that everything was good.
He had an x-ray today but as their wasn't any fat the x-ray did not show up
then the Vet did an ultrasound which should perhaps a mass in the area of the
liver. The Vet said that the mass was not in the usual places for the diseases
you mentioned in your email. The stroll sample was not tarry nor any seed like
specs in it. It was a loose stroll but I thought that might be because of the
ferri-vite or the duck soup.
Do you think it is a mass from something he ate or the dreaded disease that
Ferrets can get and nothing can save them.
Thank you for any help here on this matter.
