Hi Everyone!! I am in a state of panic. This morning (Monday) I picked up my 1 1/2 old cinnamon named Bandit and noticed a 3/4" lump near her rectum. I immediately called the vet but I can't get into the office until Wednesday afternoon. (He specializes in ferrets and isn't in tomorrow) It doesn't seem to bother her except she favors that leg a little bit but I am scared. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?? Normal eating habits and playing but her stools have been smaller - hard to tell with two of them and who does what!! Is there anything else that I should be searching for?? Also the vet I am going to is new - to us anyway - what do I need to tell him. Her other vet didn't know a thing about ferrets and now it is worth the hour drive to someone who knows what they are talking about! Please let me know with any suggestions of what to look for or what to do. Please e-mail me privately, I won't have time to read through the whole digest tommorrow. Thanks, you guys are great. Laura, Steve, Bandit (Mommy, why are you poking at my butt?) Smokey ( Play with me Play with me) [Posted in FML issue 2488]
