Desperate plea for prayers

[Queen of Poop]

For my sweet, white ferret Miko. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow morning for exploratory surgery to see if there is anything the vet can do to fix my sweetie, if not he will be PTS.

See my other post on Miko for photos and the "whole" story.

:( :( :(

[Queen of Poop]

Miko is waking up from his surgery. He's not out of the woods yet, but he's still with us. Following is the list of what they found/did:

Removed 800 ml of fluid - 3 cups worth
Biopsied: tumor on pancreas, cystic pouches on liver, lymph nodes and the weird growth they found near his intestines.

Thank you everyone for your good thoughts/prayers for my sweet Miko. I can't wait to go get him. :)

[My Peanuts]

Hopefully they can find the problem and fix him up. Prayers are still coming!

How old is Miko?

I hope they have the biopsy results very soon so we know what to do next. Miko is 5 years old. Ferrets generally live to be 7-8.

[Karen]

Give him a good snuggle from us, too! *Smooches* to that ferret face!

[crazy_caique]

Prayers on the way for you and Miko.

[My Peanuts]

[Queen of Poop]

Thanks everyone. He's refusing food now. I'm syringe feeding. :(

[Roxyluvsme13]

Cmon Miko, Eat sweet boy. (((HUGS))) and Prayers.

[Queen of Poop]

So I syringe fed Miko every time he was awake yesterday. This morning when I came downstairs and changed their water bowl he got up and had a big drink. While I prepared the meds he went to the kibble bowl and helped himself to a little breakfast, then another big drink of water. Then he had his meds, none too happily. I hope this is a good sign.

I got him out of the cage last night and wrapped him in a nice, cosy towel. I cuddled him on the couch, talked to him, cried all over him, told him how much I loved him and about all the pet talk people who wanted him to get better. He must have gotten too much loving cause he started to squirm, so I put him down on the floor. He ran behind the TV to ensure his toys were still there. Then he proceeded to chew on a tennis ball. When he was done playing I hugged him, cried on him a little more and put him back to bed. He is just the sweetest creature ever.

[k9krazee]

Glad hes eating and playing a bit ((((Hugs)))) to sweet Miko :(

[lv4dogs]

Oh no, poor sweet Miko.

Are you going to do any sort of Chemo on him? Or doesn't the Dr. think he would be a good candidate?
Did the vet say how much of the tumors he got out of Miko? Or did he just take samples of each tumor?

I wish yous only the best.
Come on Miko, keep up the good work. You sure are a trooper. We love you!

The vet only had the early lab report on Friday, they should have the full report early this week so will have a better idea of how far the cancer has gone. When I spoke with the vet Friday they felt confident they had taken out all of the tumor that they had found. But suspected that there is more involvement that just the intestinal growth, so again we have to wait for the full analysis of the 4 biopsies. Suspicion is that the lymph nodes are also involved. So I try to patiently wait for the full results and the vets recommendation on a go forward plan.

I will keep Miko in my prayers. He sounds like a wonderful boy. :)

[Roxyluvsme13]

Poor Miko. I hope he gets better, but glad he played and ate a little. Prayers still coming his way.

[petslover]

Prayers are on the way for sweet Miko

[lv4dogs]

Mikos still in my prayers, as you are too. hugs

[My Peanuts]

I'm so sorry to hear about Miko.

I do think it's a very good sign that he is eating and drinking on his own. Miko and you will be in my prayers.

[Queen of Poop]

Everyone, please sit down before you read further.

Ok. I talked to the vet late yesterday. It is truly the worst news. Miko has cancer. It is a rotten cancer that will cause him to bleed internally. Little tumors will crop up on his blood vessels and cause them to seep and leak. The vet believes that Miko has less than 4 weeks to live.

I couldn't post last night, I was too upset.

Miko is ok for right now. I'm giving him lots of hugs and kisses. He had a drink this morning, but was not interested in the fresh food. He did take his meds and a syringe full of chicken soup. :( :( :(

My heart couldn't possibly hurt anymore than it does right now. Thanks for your thoughts and kind words.

[lv4dogs]

Oh sweet Gayle, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry to hear the bad news.

Be thankful at least that you have some answers and that you still have each other. Cherish every moment with him. I am glad to hear that he is doing good otherwise. That is great news.

Oh dear pet god, please save Miko from any pain while he is here with us & forever more. Let his last moments be filled with joy, love & happiness just as he has experienced his whole life through. When the time comes please make his journey to the bridge a safe & peacful journey. But for now lets all celebrate that the little guy is our friend and in Gayles case, may he be a very best friend.

We love you sweet Miko.

{{{hugs}}} Gayle. If theres anything I can do or if you just want to talk or vent I'm here for you.

Yous are in my prayers,
Sue

[Logan]

Please be strong for Miko and don't allow him to suffer for a minute. Bless his heart, and yours.

My prayers will continue.

Logan

[poofy]

:( Im so sorry to hear this and my heart is with both of you :(

[Queen of Poop]

Please be strong for Miko and don't allow him to suffer for a minute. Bless his heart, and yours.

My prayers will continue.

Logan


Trust me, the moment Miko takes a turn for the worse we will be at the vet and he will be sent on his journey to the RB. He is far too sweet a boy to be allowed to suffer for a moment. The vet understands this is how I feel and is on standby any time for my call. I firmly believe in doing what is in the best interest of any of my furkids first and foremost, my heartbreak and tears come secondary. Miko and I thank you for your prayers.

[racing_gurl07]

Poor Miko! Prayers are with you! :(

How old is Miko?

[sandragonfly]

racing-gurl, it says "Miko is 5 years old. Ferrets generally live to be 7-8." on the first page. sometimes we read too fast! :)

qop...oh dear, I'm soo sorry to find this. :( I have had three-six ferrets taken care of for a few years but not one of them had this issue like our little poor sweet miko so I don't know what else to offer... I'm with lvdogs, I'm here for you and have our hugs as much as you need! - grab every cherished moments you can be with miko.

miko, sorry not any of my words for how sorry I am can extend your life. . . I sure hope whoever said you had four weeks left is wrong(too short). for you, I'm not giving up praying for a miracle in any way - maybe for a day, you eat like a lion! - sigh, :( I just wish you didn't had a cancer but glad it was found so everyone can be in comfort and will be ready for you to go peacefully if needed at the soonest.

I hope both of you will have some more best moments together and know you both are in my thoughts! {{{stritches}}} and (((hugs)))

[Queen of Poop]

Poor Miko! Prayers are with you! :(

How old is Miko?

Miko is 5 years old.
Ferrets should live to be 7-8 years of age.

[midget gem]

:( Sorry to hear about Miko, hope he gets better soon!

[My Peanuts]

I am truly sorry. I know how much you love Miko. Bless you for being strong enough to know when to do the right thing. Cancer is such an evil thing. At least we have to option to stop our pets misery should it occur. I am so sorry. If you need anything please let me know.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Miko is a very beautiful little boy. I'm so sorry to hear he is sick. My thoughts and prayers are coming to you and Miko :(
