To Barbara Kelsey: I really think you must have misunderstood what your vet
said. It is the testicles that are removed during neutering, NOT the penis!
All male Ferts will have a "bellybutton like" penis wether they are neutered
or not. (it's used for other things than reproduction, a "must have" sort
of thing) I can't say for sure about Ferrets and this "penis bone" but in
all my years as a dog owner I've never heard such a thing. Sorry, I really
don't mean to sound preachy or demeaning, hope you don't take me wrong.
But, if this is actually what your vet said, (about not having a penis due
to neutering) I'd get another vet.
I hope I didn't offend you, Honestly!

[Moderator's note: Not that I'm trying to make myself be known as a penis
expert, but, yes, the bone is the Os Penis and is typical in carnivores,
though it appears in other animal groups too. BIG]
