…. who still has a hairless stomach, as you can see in this photo

She is doing so well so far (touch wood) and it’s so encouraging to see her waddle contentedly around the house and climb up onto our bed to cuddle us at night.

Just recently, someone sent me a story about his ferret, Figgy, which was riddled with cancer, for my Natural Remedies section and mentioned that a holistic vet in New Jersey gave Figgy something called Poly-MVA.

Muis’s bottle of TCM arrived yesterday and according to what Kamila wrote, the herbs are “yin and spleen tonics”, which will help regulate her blood sugar levels. Kamila also included some mild strengthening herbs to help with the tumour on her pancreas.

Here’s the make up of the medicine (the information in the brackets are descriptions I found on the Internet, not from Kamila) …

1. Tai Zhi Shen – Radix Pseudostellariae (strengthens spleen and stomach Qi, generates fluids, tonifies lung Qi)

2. Shi Hu – Dendrobium Stem (nourishes the stomach; promotes generation of body fluids; nourishes Yin; clears heat)
