Guest Dillon benda Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 On of my ferrets has a lump in his belly that I would say is maybe 1 by 2 1/2 inches. I brought him to my vet but he doesn't know much a bout ferrets. He said that sometimes ferrets get enlarged spleens and that might be what it is. Is this realy comon? Is cancer in ferrets comon? Also, how can I tell if he's the right weight? I can feel his ribs fairly easy but the other one I feed with him is heavier. Quote Link to post
