Hello Kerry,

There are many remedies to combat all kinds of tumours in humans and animals, but as for ferrets, (too) little research has been done so far and trying to find the right remedies for chordoma would be more of a kind of lottery instead of a proper and responsible approach. The same holds good for e.g. ringtail in rats. Frankly speaking, my opinion (homeopathic treatment not yet possible) is merely based on empirical evidence/knowledge and on the fact that I have never heard of chordoma cured by homeopathy. Also nothing useful and relevant on this disorder is to be found in homeopathic veterinary literature. Just like the disorder ringtail in rats, once the condition (chordoma) has been noticed in a ferret it is usually too late to prevent the consequences, both allopathically and homeopathically.
Most likely several disorders in ferrets are caused by wrong food, e.g. dog food or vegetarian-type of food. Pet foods are not suitable for ferrets, since ferrets are strict carnivores. Self treatment (home treatment) of chordoma would also probably be very difficult, because first you would have to find the correct remedy or remedies, which would have to be alternated with a suitable nosode such as Carcinosin, Scirrhinum etc. to allow the (constitutional) remedy to act properly. LM dilutions in alternation in ascending potencies would then be indicated, etc.

Let`s hope more research will be done in the near future ! (I like ferrets !) Wim. (William)
