Hi! I'm a new ferret owner and am a little freaked out right now. "Jazz" is two years old and has been sneezing etc. since last night. I strongly believe she has a bug because my husband just received antibiotics for a bug. However, 2 nights ago, I did a full check on her body and found no lumps of any kind. We just noticed a few minutes ago she has a lump on the left side of her belly right in front of her back leg. It doesn't appear to make her uncomfortable when we touch it. It was NOT there when I searched her the other night. Could this be an infection from the cold or what? I called the on call vet and he pretty much blew me off and told me to call someone else in the morning. I know you're not professionals but, is it possible this could be a bruise she received while playing or something associated with this cold?
