Leigh Temple 2 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 My best worker has been out of action this season due to a very large lump on his lower jaw, after spending 200+ at the vets there is no sign of recovery, its getting bigger and harder as days go on and now he is molting eradically no major patches lost, but still had him five years and seen nothing like it, he is going back to vets this week but I would like to know if any one has any ideas on these matters.

ferret110 27 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 its either an abcess or a tumour Quote Link to post
ferret100 47 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not sure why vets charged you £200 and gave you no diagnosis, suspected or otherwise? What did this £200 involve? Have they x-rayed the lump? Is the lump 'attached' to the bone or within the skin? What meds did they prescribe if any? Atb. Quote Link to post
Leigh Temple 2 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 it seems steep but its from going back several times (to the vet) getting test done to check for cancer etc and antibiotics and pain killers, they did attempt an op to take a closer look this is when they tell me its attached to the lymph node, heading to vets again in hours time to find out as much more as I can.

ferret100 47 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 How did vet visit go? Atb. Quote Link to post
Leigh Temple 2 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 no good news at the moment its possible he has the adrenal disease but im going to pay the price and get as much testing done as i can afford to found out whats going but vets reckon it could be that, thats lowering his imune system thus causing the problems in his glands else where and in short while went in weight of 1.9 down to 1.3, he's still bouncing and eating, but i wont know much else till i get him scanned and blood tested.

ferret100 47 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 If Adrenal Disease is the suspect cause a Suprelorin implant would be a great way forward. Sorry to hear you're having a tough time with this wee fella. Atb. 1 Quote Link to post
happyferret123 13 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 If it is adrenal disease, at least its not the end of the world, the implant is pretty good at controlling it. Good luck, Hope he's feeling better soon. Quote Link to post
Leigh Temple 2 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 quick update.... my boy is still fighting strong his lump has reduced since an injection and his follow up antibiotics seem to holding but will need the implant, he's still bouncing around the garden so good positive signs he might recover fully. would like to thank you all for the help and info given it helped alot. 2 Quote Link to post
