A friend of mine has a very old ferret (approx 8 years or more) that appears
to have an odd problem.  He is blind in one eye and has a tumour or cyst
that reappears periodically on the sheath of his penis.  He is also fairly
overweight.  Recently he has had problems with his stomach getting very
distended, bloated if you will, and making it difficult for him to be
mobile.  Then it dissapears by the next day.  Can anyone tell me what this
might be?  She has only had him for a little while and his history isn't
very well known.  Is there something she can do to help him out or stop
this?  He seems fairly active and playful most of the time.
 
Thanks for the advice,
 
Sheena
