Subject: Recuring scab on nose
Hi all:
My 5 year old ferret (Neutered male) has had a recurring scab on his
nose for close to a year now. It exfoliate and regrows automatically
every 3 weeks or o. Recently we did a biopsy on the scab itself and
no cancerous cell was found ( we did not biopsy the root itself). It
does not seems to bother him and his overall health is fine. Has any
of you experienced such thing?
On a "lighter" note. He was diagnosed with insulinoma last year.
Started predinosolone 2.5 ml with a dose of .5 twice a day. I
started him on Devil's Club Supreme back in December and we have now
reduced his pred level to .25 twice a day. His last glucose test at
trough/fast level was 66 (he used to be at 10!) and 91, 4 hours
after intake of meds. He is full of energy and playfull again.
Thank you for any pointer you can give me re. the scab on his nose.
