Hello All I am a long time reader and poster of the FML but do not get time of late to do either. The reason I am posting now is to give good news about what I thought was going to be bad. My sisters Ferret Honey is about 5 ( about the time tumors do tend to show up in our little fuzzies) she became very lethargic and was not putting any weight on her right front leg. My sister took her to DR. Lutz in Nashville, TN and he looked her over and found a lot of lumps this scared us all because we thought it could be cancer. Dr. Lutz thought one of them which was close to the leg was pushing on a nerve. He sent Honey home with some antibiotics just in case it was some kind of infection. They went back today for a checkup and x_ray. she was not lethargic the lumps look to have shrunk the vet thought so also. She was also using the leg again. He did x_ray her and I do not know the term but test the lumps through the skin kind of like lancing it. His determination is that they are lumps of fatty tissue. Honey will be coming home today and will be staying on antibiotics. Honey early last year blew all her fur around the tail area and then grew it all back so she likes to scare us.
