Subject: Spider bite on back of ear??????

This afternoon I went to let my ferrets out and on one of them I
noticed a good amount of blood behing her ear. I cleaned her up and
noticed a small pin prick sized mark and a red bump. Could this be
a spider bite? (We live in central New York if that helps with
spiders around here.) I haven't noticed spiders in the room, but we
all know how they can be. She could have scratched herself too.
What can I put on something like this? Should she see the vet?
Thanks for any info.
