In early April, I posted about one of my jills who had surgery for a suspected blockage and it was discovered that her enlarged uterus was causing the issue. The uterus was removed and sent to the lab. The lab results came back and she had a uterine carcinoma. A nearby lymph node was also examined and did not show signs of cancer; however, my vet said this type of cancer usually spreads to the liver, lungs and brain.
Through April and May, we had some real struggles with eating and nausea; she was getting anti-nausea meds every 48 hours. She started with clinicare plus turkey baby food, then (briefly) some cooked lamb soup and carnivore care. We finally settled on quail eggs and she's been eating them exclusively since mid May. I tried adding some carnivore care to the egg, but she decided she didn't want it after a short time.
She gets about 5 egg meals per day, each meal with 2/3 eggs plus a little water. The following things are mixed into her eggs (not all in the same meal and no more than two meals a day have supplements):
- 2/3 drops black seed oil (usually first meal of the day, but not on all days). This is the main alternative cancer fighter that I am using.
- Taurine powder
- Bone Meal
- Olive Oil
- Turmeric (juiced from root when I can get it)
- Coconut Oil
- Geneflora
Occasionally:
- Amino Essentials
- Flower Pollen
- Reishi
- Trace Minerals
- Raw Honey
She's been improving on the eggs - we haven't had any nausea issues since the beginning of June and she's put on over 100 grams. However, I want to make sure her diet is balanced naturally. I had some Wysong Call of the Wild which I have started to mix in every so often but am not sure how much of the nutrients in that are natural.
I was hoping to get her to eat mice so that she can feed herself when I'm not there but she was never a big mouse fan. She has had problems with blockages from day old chicks so I don't give her those anymore. I have tried 1 week quail and she ate it but is now ambivalent - maybe too much bulk for a digestive system that has been only eating eggs for that long?
1. What would be your suggestions to add to the eggs to make sure she's getting a balanced diet?
2. I've offered all kinds of ground raw and raw soups but she's not interested in any of it. Anyone have any luck with a specific food or mix for their picky ferrets? Before this issue, she ate fine ground raw (meat/bones/organs), heart, freeze dried raw, all without problems.
Any advice on next steps would be helpful.
Thanks!!!
