Subject: Re: unusual Finding

Is this "vein" near his neck? I just found something like this on
one of my ferrets and it seems to have come out of no where. When I
took her to the vet the vet scanned her and she had an avid microchip
in her. If he is a Marshall Farms ferret like mine, they only
microchip them when someone requests it. So it seems that I bought
her not knowing about the chip. It feels hard and like a big vein,
but it's only about a half an inch long. Hope this helps.
