The only advice is to get her to a ferret
knowledgeable vet ASAP. At six years old if it's a
tumor of some sort it may still be possible to remove
it. The longer you let it go the worse things will
get.

Nobody on list can diagnose your ferret from what you
have posted here. This list is never a substitute for
a vet visit.

Good luck to you and your little girl.

All the best,
Caity and the fabulous five
