Hi, Carol, and everyone else,

Your vet may want to consider doing a biopsy first and
seeing what the pathology report says. We had a
similar situation with Adric and that golf ball sized
tumor on one side of his neck/throat turned out to be
a hugely enlarged lymph node. There was no point to
surgery. Just before we put him down a second one
(the lymph node on the other side) started growing
hugely as well.

I hope you're not dealing with lymphoma as well but
you may want to find out before putting the ferret
through a surgery like that.

All the best,
Caity and the fantastic four
