Diane and I have a saying and it is "we learn on the backs of the ones that have gone before" --meaning, each ferret that comes in teaches us something--most especially the sick ones--because what we learn from them, can help us help many others.
Well, something good did happen today--as we were at the vet for Kawzi--the vet happened to mention to Diane that at some point, she wanted to get the oldies in to test their albumin. Now, to backtrack--that was the first indicator of Loki's lymphoma--even when she was asymptomatic-and it wasn't typically something that they tested for re" lymphoma. Well, after her (the dr's) experience with Loki--it started to be something that she looked for more often--and found it.
So, my little Loki will have helped improve the quality of care for multitudes of ferrets to come--they will be able to go on pred--and have it help with the disease management prior to enlargment of lymph nodes... so, hopefully they will be able to live longer or at least more comfortably.
Wow, how amazing.
