I got the blood test results back in today and she also has lymphoma, kidney
disease and liver disease. I am so confused I do not know what to do.
[Lymphoma can NOT be diagnosed by
blood work alone. Infections in ferrets
can have very similar results. What else
is that being based upon?
Liver disease is sometimes misattributed
based upon blood work. See:
http://www.afip.org/consultation/vetpath/ferrets/Clin_Path/ClinPath.html
and
http://www.afip.org/consultation/vetpath/ferrets/PDF/Ferret_GI_path_reports.pdf
so it will depend on which results were off and what they were.
Kidney disease diagnoses from blood work work
tend to be more reliable when it shows up but
then a urine concentration should be run.
Ask for ALL of the actual numbers and enter them.
The numbers matter but so do their ratios.
