Our ferret Arnold used to have two whitish spots in the back
of his throat, sort of like tonsils. (one on each side) Then
one went away, and the other became larger.  Now the larger
one is growing, and is about half as big as a common pencil
eraser.  Is this a tumor or an infection??  Is there a
simple cure, or do we need a doctor?  I have suppressed the
desire to try to pop the thing.  Comments appreciated.
