My ferret is presently undergoing chemo using Doxorubicin for a huge lymphoma tumor (diagnosed thru a biopsy) on his neck. We are injecting it directly into the neck tumor with fantastic results. It has been 2 weeks and the tumor has significantly gotten smaller. He goes in next week for a 2nd session. His only side effect that I can see is he is very tired. I do give him Pet Tinic which seems to help. I will ask the vet next week if there is anything else I can give him for his possible anemia. Any info on anyone who has used this on their ferret would be greatly appreciated. I have had several ferrets with Lymphoma but none who have has such a huge tumor on the side of their neck. He is only going on 4 years old and such a sweetheart thru all this. Thank you.

Then only problem with Doxorubicin is that there is a limit as to how many treatments you can give (5). Once you have given 5 treatments, remission ends.

Sorry, I've never had to use it yet, but I'm happy to hear that the tumor on your fert is responding so well. That is not always the case, according to several articles I've read in FERRETS mag. Just wanted to wish you good luck and I'm glad your fuzzy has such a caring owner.
I have four and know how attached one can get to those little carpet sharks. Good luck to you. I hope everything comes out alright.

My ferret was a dangerous little bugger.
