Hi again. I posted about my ferret Fingers a couple of weeks ago in reference to a lump in her nether regions. You said that it could possibly be leftover stuff from her early descenting. (Marshall Farms) My vet agreed. We put Bacitracin on the lump several days before taking her to the vet and it softened up the lump, which got a little smaller. The vet said we should simply pick the scab off every day to let it drain, and not put anymore ointment on it. He wanted to see if her body would take care of it. We did as he suggested and the lump did keep going down. Now there is just a faint purple spot. Is this a permanent fix or will it come back? Should we have gotten surgery? Thanks for your advice!
