krawnden 1,036 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Anybody know what different things can cause a lump on a ferret? One of my jills has just developed a lump the size of a big pea just over her ribcage - as soon as I picked her up this evening I could feel it. Nothing really visible and she seems in fine fettle in all other respects. I'll keep an eye on it for a day or two and if no better get her to the vet, but I was just wondering what people's thoughts on possible causes are? Quote Link to post

Sirblessed 2,511 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 If it feels like grisle its probably a cist, it could also be a thorn from a blackberry bush or the like under the skin (if it is it will pop and come out eventually) as above get it checked out Quote Link to post
