I can only agree - PeeDee was diagnosed with Prepucial adenocarcinoma, and has had three surgeries to remove the growths. All testing of the tissues showing not only was it malignant but possibly metastizing. But PeeDee is doing great - what a happy fella he is! Eating/drinking well, no other problems... But Dr. Williams - I do have a question for you: Have you ever had a ferret whose bacula was constantly protruding? Leo is a stray, about 3 years old and you can always see at least the hook on the end, and sometimes as much as 1" of his penis! A thorough exam by our vet (Dr. Hulls asked to pass along his greetings!) showed no abnormality or possible reason. Its not broken or swollen - its just out! He is currently on Septra but that is ending today (14 day course). He isn't in any pain, doesn't lick excessively and other than this, a normal happy ferret. Ideas are welcomed - Thanks!
