Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any information about chordomas in ferrets. About a year ago a fine needle aspirate from one of my girl's (tail) came back from histopath as a chordoma. Neither the treating vet at my school or my current vet seemed to know much about chordomas. I heard at a conference recently that it is not uncommon for ferrets to get chordomas on their tail. Unfortunately I did not get any more information. If anyone on the FML has any info and/or references, please email me and/or post on the FML. Thanks and lots of dooks to all; Also, hug each of your babies tightly and give them an extra kiss tonight. Last week, I lost one of my babies. It was sudden and I'm still waiting for the final histopath and necropsy report. I"ve been too distraught to write about it and even now find myself in tears. You just never know when the time may come... he was a big (fat) DEW cuddler who crawled into my lap the first day I met him, draped his chin over my wrist, looked up at me and sighed. He was a cuddler and slept with me at night. He didn't know he was a ferret and he just wanted to be held and near you. I didn't expect to write about him just now..but I guess I needed to share since I konw everyone here understands just how special these lil fuzzies are to some of us. I will miss him dearly.
