Cyndi, I think you should have it examined by your vet right away. About two months ago I noticed redness in the roof of my girl's mouth and I brought her to the vet. She was first put on antibiotics for a week but it did not help at all so my vet did a biopsy on the spot and it turned out to be a squamous cell carcinoma. It is fairly rare for ferrets to get, but it is very aggressive so it is important to catch it early. I was lucky that I caught it and found a surgeon that was able to perform surgery to remove it since it seems to have not spread to her throat. I pray that this is not the case with your little one, but I definitely think you should have it looked at just in case it is something serious; it could save her life. I wish you the best of luck and you and Louise will be in my thoughts. Hugs to all your fuzzies Jenna [Posted in FML issue 2856]
