Hi
My ferret may have a polyp in his ear, he goes for surgery on Monday morning, I cant really find anything about polyps at all on the net apart from "small beign growth on a mucous membrane" and that it sometimes has a small tail.
Whatever it was in his ear has since come out, plus a lot of blood (we took him straight to the vets who said he was fine but that there was still something in his ear) when we got back from the vets I found whatever it was in his ear on the floor and it looks (and feels- touched with a glove on!!) like a lump of gristle and it has a tail. Does this sound like a polyp? I know I will find out on Monday but I really dont know what to expect and know nothing about polyps??!!! The vet said that if it is a polyp then he may be plagued with middle ear infections for the rest of his life. If it isnt a polyp then it could possibly be far more serious and be cancer and that they wouldn't beable to do anything for him.
Monday seems far off for knowing what is going to happen to my little boy and I would really appreciate anything anyone could tell me about polyps please
Thanx,
Best Wishes

ps. Sorry I tend to ramble on a bit.
