Hi everyone,
I need some suggestions for what might be wrong with one of my
ferrets. I adopted a 4 yr old male ferret 2 months ago. When I got
him he was really skinny and not very active. He's gained weight,
and over the last couple weeks he's gotten more active and bouncy and
playful.
When I was giving him a bath I found what looks scab/injury less than
a 1/4 inch diameter on his butt, and the area is swollen. The hair
in around it is gone. It doesn't seem to bother him at all. Can
someone give me some suggestions as to whether something like this is
likely a war wound or something more serious?
Thanks all,
