Here is my full tale about my Missy's 1/2 tale.
 
I have a little female fuzzy about 4 years old.  She has always had 1/2
tail -- it is the length that is 1/2 not the circumference.  I was told
her mama might have licked her too hard when bathing her.  A few weeks
ago, I noticed the end of tail, right at the tip was swollen.  It looks
like a small light bulb-- maybe one-half inch across.  It has remained
swollen looking about the same size.  It doesn't hurt, I can rub it
gently or squeeze gently and Missy does not act like it hurts.  It
doesn't light up either for those of you that are into humor.
 
Does anyone have an idea of what it might be?  She eats her Totally
Ferret normal, drinks normal, plays with me normal, poops are normal,
pestering to play is normal.  The only thing that isn't normal is her
tail.
 
Thank you for your time,
Patty
