Dear Karen:
Warty tumors on the skin of ferrets are invariably benign, and most
likley are sebaceous epitheliomas, the most common neoplasm of the
skin of the ferret. They can usually be easily revomed. You can
find more about these tumros, including some images, at my site at
http://www.aifp.org/ferrets
Let's get it removed at your earliest convenience, but don't lose a
lot of sleep over it.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, dVM
