I am a bit worried about my newest addition. I received Banana as a gift in Feb. She is a cinnamon...about four months old now. At that time there was an area of fur matted near the right of the anal opening. The pet store shaved the fur in that area so we could see what it was. It appeared as if some feces had dried and created a sore. I treated it for the next few days with first aid cream (neosporin) and washing. When I took her to the vet a week or so later for her shots the area was healed over. The vet mentioned that it could have just been a sore or an erruption that occurred because all of the scent gland was not totally removed. I noticed tonight that the sore is back or reopened and that it is ozzing puss. I am quite worried. Has anyone had a similar experience with the scent gland still partly in tact. She didn't come from a big ferret breeder...just a local one here in Minnesota. Any advice would be appreciated...I am wondering if I should take her back into the vet and if it is the scent gland...if I should call the breeder and have them pay for it.
