Jan asks >Anyone out there who has experience or know of a ferret's nose changing >color or developing a very dark spot on or around the nose? I am wondering >if this may be a melanoma of some sort. Our little sable girl Belle, now 5 1/2, had a pink nose until about 1 1/2 yrs old. Her nose developed brown spots, and she started roaning on her hindquarters about the same time. I guess she just wanted to change her wardrobe. Linda Iroff North Coast Ferret Shelter http://www.oberlin.edu/~liroff/ncfs.html [Posted in FML issue 2223]
