I am very interested in compiling data on the Marshall Farm ferret's that
have tattoos on their hind legs.
 
I too had one that had a tattoo.  She died at age 4 from some type of
brain tumor.  She had no symptoms and then had hind weakness and within a
month the tumor grew to the size of a grape and she had to be euthanized.
 
Anyone interested in helping me with this study please send me a private
email (don't want to flood BIG).  Please include the following:
 
Ferrets name:
Age:
 
DOB:
 
Sex:
 
Location of tattoo:
 
Color:
 
Brief description of medical history:
 
Size:  (weight and if she/he is unusually small or large)
 
Shelter ferret:  Yes  or   No
 
Pet store purchase:   Yes or No   -if yes what state  (I am trying to
see if there is any trend or pattern here.)
 
State:  If you know what state she originally came from when purchased
(I am trying to see if there is any trend or pattern here.)
 
 
I will compile the data and let you know the outcome.  I appreciate any
help that I can get on this.
 
Thank you
