Has anyone ever had a really successful spleen removal on a ferret?
**I've done a number of them. The question that has to be asked when a
ferret does not do well after a plenectomy is why the splenectomy was done =
in the
first place. If it was for simple hyperplasia, the ferret tends to do very=
well. If it was, on the other hand, a cancerous spleen, they are much less=
likely to do well. It is always a good idea to think about whether the spl=
een is
enlarged due to something like lymphoma before going ahead with surgery.**
