My sweet little ferret Elf has recently been diagnosed with lymphoma, a malignant mass in his abdomen growing off his lymph nodes. ;_; It's quickly growing, crushing his intestines and spreading.

I feel so bad for him. He's been spending his time mostly sleeping, and the rare times when he's awake, he can barely walk and tires easily. He's on three types of medicine right now, but they just treat the symptoms, not the growth. He needs surgery to remove the mass, followed by multiple chemotherapy visits.

The surgery for the complicated procedure costs around $1200, each chemotherapy visit around $300. Work already done so far has added up to $700. This is difficult for me to afford, but it's so painful to see Elf suffer. In case anyone wants to help, I've started an Elf collection fund. Every little bit helps!

Thank you. ;_;

I wanted to let you know that i donated $10 to your ferrits treatment. My dog that i've had sense the 2nd grade has developed prostate cancer and his surgery is just as much. I'd hate for you to loose your beloved animal as i may loose mine. I'm glad I could help and i will continue to send more money when i get the chance.

Thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a similar situation with your dog. It's so hard to watch a beloved animal suffer through something as terrible as cancer. :(

My ferret Elf is pulling through with the treatment... he has improved so much.
