Our BoJangles was just diagnosed with an isolated sarcoma on his scapula.
In other words, a tumor on his shoulder causing bone loss.  Both our vet.
Dr. Kulig , and confering vet.  Dr. Edling said the only thing to do was to
amputate.  It will be his left front leg.  Does anyone have any experience
with a ferret with an amputation and what I should expect ?  As many
ferrets as we have had in our shelter he is the first for this particular
problem.  Surgery is scheduled for Monday.  Other than the malformed
shoulder, you would never even know he has a problem.  He continues to
run and play and have a great time.
 
Appreciate any advice.
 
Thanks!
