Lita,
I'm not a vet. That understood, the swollen glands are likely the lymph
glands. The swelling could be an infection or the beginnings of
lymphosarcoma. In either case, it would be a good idea to take the ferret
to see the vet fairly soon.
If it's an infection, some antibiotics, might help. If it's lymphosarcoma,
a very ferret knowledgeable vet might recommend chemo therapy which seems to
be fairly effective if started early enough.
