Boy did I read that wrong the first time-sorry!
Anyway, the bumps and scabs look similar to some of the scabbies my Marley =
gets on his body sometimes; he has had them on and off since I got him a ye=
ar and a half ago (he's 4 this month), and other than the occasional big on=
e that gets red and irritated and needs some panalog, they don't really bot=
her him. =
We haven't really been able to explain it, either-doesn't seem to be a food=
allergy, detergent allergy or any other allergy that we've thought of, and=
has had no effect on his overall health. Your ferret may not have the sam=
e thing as Marley, but if you can find no other causes, it may be similar. =
It has been nothing to worry about in Marley, and we just monitor him and =
check out any large scabs; he has had a mast cell tumor removed as well wit=
h no problem.
