Happy Memorial day!  I hope everyone has a nice long weekend!
 
I have a 1 1/2 year old male who has a marble sized lump under his skin
on his neck.  It will shrink and enlarge in size; within weeks.  The lump
is fairly stiff, I guess I would say.  It has some squish to it, but not
rock hard.  I know that is not a very good description; but hey.  It's
been pretty gradual, no drastic changes.  We first noticed it late last
fall & has been mysteriously vanishing & reappearing since then.  We
called the vet; he says this is common in ferrets & to keep an eye on
it.  If Buster isn't bothered by it don't worry.  My vet is very good;
I trust him.  But, I have never had another ferret with this type of
problem & I have had a few in my day.  Is it really that common?  What
is other owner's experience with this problem?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
 
Thanks
Lisa & Buster Brown
