Hi Sarah,
Yes, ferrets can develop mammary tumors.
They are rare because most female ferrets
are spayed. However adrenal gland disease
overproduces the same sex hormones that can
cause mammary cancer. Time to remove the adrenal
gland or glands if he is stable enough for surgery
or add Lupron depot to his adrenal treatment if he
is not stable enough for surgery.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
