To Lloyd:

>Any thoughts?
 
Lloyd - Check the ferret FAQ, especially the part about enlarged vulvas.
Although you didn't mention whether your ferret was male or female, I am
assuming that it is female.  If it is intact, she is probably in heat and
you'd better see a vet QUICK - intact females quickly DIE if not bred or spayed.
 
        Spayed females often show vulvar enlargement with adrenal disease.
 
        Check the ferret FAQ for more information - this is a very ommon
complaint - and one that we hear very often.
