Paxie update - hard lump pathology and geriatric bloodwork is in. Everything
looks just fine. The hard lump was possibly a fibrous plug involved with the
gland abcess. Surgery site healed very well. Paxie is back to "normal" and
running about happy as ever. We'll watch the other side from now on in case
something happens with it. Both me and my vet were unaware of an abcessed anal gland
taking this long (five year-old ferret) to present. I'm curious if we're not
alone but I was under the impression that they typicallly present much earlier.
**One of my personal ferrets is a five year old Marshall Farms boy, had an
anal sac abscess this past winter, but had had no symptoms of any glandular
tissue remaining prior to that (or since). I was quite surprised myself.**
