Dewey is still very ill (Thank you all for your words of advice and care) but my other 2 do not show any signs off illness (knock on wood) Thank goodness! Other facts:
-Dewey had never left the house and I was never exposed (knowingly) to any other ferrets
-Dewey is a Marshall Farms Ferret born in Dec of 2003
-Dewey had not been vaccinated until after his lump appeared (right or wrong-I've had other have bad reactions and decided to keep my guys indoors and thus not vaccinate)
If this isn't genetic...I can't imagine what else it could be.
BTW-We are doing at home care and Dewey is pretty much the same though he has started wheezing. I have called my vet with all of this information. He agreed Dewey is a classic case of DIMs-and blamed his missing it on the fact that this is the 1st case this far west (Utah) and so he didn't expect it or think of it-don't know if that is true. I have begged him to call the vets listed and get help...I haven't heard from him in 2 days.
Thank you all.

In all of the cases I've seen so far, it has been one ferret in the
household, all households had other ferrets.
