My ferret recently had surgery for a closed pyo. I am now concerned
however due to a rather large mass on her spine. My vet is out of the
office until next week. I had thought that it was a mast cell tumor, but
after reading online, I just don't know. I have attached a picture so
that hopefully it will be more clear what I am looking at. I have heard
that Benadryl and Hydrocortisone cream are the best treatments for them.
Although, I don't know what dosage and how frequently to be giving them.
She is a little over 2 lbs. and just turned a year old. Any advice would
be greatly appreciated!
