To the person who was asking about ferret prostate glands:
 
My vet told me something similar.  He said the gland is not a true gland as
it is in male humans but prostatic tissue which forms a "U" or cup shape
around the bladder.  When it gets inflamed or enlarged it presses into the
bladder causing the symptoms your Percy has (and my Antony, too).

& Antony ("yea, I'm the one with the enlarged prostatic tissue"
& Lexie ("prosthefittelyatic what? I don't have one of those, do I?"
& Babe ("I'm too young and restless to care about tissues... except the ones
that come in boxes that I can tear every single tissue out and then jump in
the box")
