Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] vaccine-associated sarcomas
??!!!!!????

Hi Deena,
You are describing is a local vaccine reaction to
the rabies vaccine. These are common! I would wait for roughly
2 months before removing the lump (if the lump is still there).
Yes, ferrets can get vaccine associated sarcomas, but they are still
rare.
No need to panic at this stage.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
