A cyst on a ferret's tail might be a chordoma. You can look at one
here - http://www.afip.org/ferrets/chordoma.htmI [htm or html, not htmI]
I recently read about this in the FHL. It's something that needs
immediate attention per Dr. Bruce Williams:
>Chordoma is a common musculoskeletal tumor which arises in the spine,
>and most often in the tail. No, these tumors do not metastasize, and he
>will not die of it. These tumors do eat into the bone of the veterbrae,
>and this is painful; but the good news is that amputation of the tail is
>curative. Let's get it removed as soon as possible.
>
>With kindest regards,
>Bruce Williams, dVM"
Hope this helps.
