Has anybody ever had a ferret with a hernia? If so, was it operated on? My
Willow has a lump (just under 1/2 inch diameter) between the 2 nipples that
are furthest towards her front legs. The lump seems to be close to the
skin/ muscle layer, not far into the abdomen. The vet suggested it could be
a hernia and to keep an eye on it? It doesn't hurt Willow when you touch
the lump. Willow will be 2 years old this summer and was spayed beginning
of last year.
Best wishes
