Well, I certainly don't. The information provided isn't very clear,
particularly in regards to the aspirate. The results of that, which I
do not see, may be helpful.
However, if there are masses (note, it is written as plural in the

Or it may be something that only causes the ferret to suffer. In my
opinion, a transfusion isn't something that should be done without
good cause. Again, just my opinion.
