Hi Bonnie,=A0 The only thing that jumped out at me about your post was, pos=
sibly bone marrow cancer.=A0 I had a ferret Rudy several years ago, so info=
is kind of fuzzy, but Rudy was anemic, also had other tests done, the vet =
suspected bone marrow cancer, but he passed too quickly.=A0 He did say that=
if it was in fact bone marrow cancer, that transfusions would not help (I'=
m not sure if it was because he was that bad off, or transfusions wouldnt h=
elp for any bonemarrow cancer).=A0 I'm not sure what tests can be done, but=
thought I would mention it.=A0 Good luck to this little one.

a biopsy, but feels the ferret is far to weak at this time.
Any ideas/thoughts for my friend and her vet would be greatly appreciated.
