These pics of her were taken about a month ago (Jan, 2016) when she was first diagnosed with lymphoma. I brought her to the vet because Iāve noticed that she was lethargic. They did some blood work and her glucose was low. Since then Iāve increased her feedings to every 4-5 hours. Sheās still on a good quality meat diet but Iāve cut down her kibbles to Ā¼ (about a tbsp) of what I used to give her. Blossom is fed a high quality meat diet but I used to add Marshals Ferret or Innova Evo to it (soup form).
Iāve since decreased most of what I used to add to the mixture. So far sheās doing well. Iāve tried my best to avoid giving her the prescribed pills (Prednisone) due to the side effects of damage to the liver. However Iāve noticed that she wasnāt fully as active as she used to be so Iāve now started her on the Prednisone. As of now Iām giving her one pill a day. If I find that sheās not as active which could mean that the disease has the upper hand, then I will give her two pills (one every 12 hours). Lymphoma is very common in older ferrets and there isnāt a cure unless itās surgery. The surgery involves the removal of about Ā¾ of the pancreas (tumours) but thereās no guarantee that the tumours wonāt grow back. Now taken Blossoms age into consideration, I donāt think it would be fair to put her through such a painful act. If I had the surgery done, I think that would be for me wanting to hold on to her but when I look into her eyes, I know that would be selfish. Iāve learned over the years how to let go, when itās time to say good bye my friend. It was a tough lesson but itās the right thing to do even though it breaks my heart into a million pieces, true love is unselfish and kind.
