Just got Beowulf back from the vet. He had a tumor removed from the tip of his tail (and 1/2 inch of his tail to boot). I'm suppose to get a call back from the vet tomorrow on whether its benign or not. The tumor was pretty huge, about the size of my finger nail on my pinky finger. What I'd like to know is whats the possiblity of a ferret getting a tumor, the chances of it being cancerous, and what could possible cause it. Any info regarding this would be greatly appreciated! BTW, Pandora is fine and shows no signs of tumors anywhere on her. later fellow ferretites. Mike - dad's little boy got a boo-boo Beowulf - 1/2 inch shorter but still a carpet shark Pandora - love'n the Ferretone!!! [Posted in FML issue 1342]
