There's been no time to send anything out. This thing has doubled in
size in less than a week and is now going right up under the tail
(originally it was around 10 or 11 o'clock). The vet read the aspirate
Wednesday, and she said cancer cells, but I was having to go back and
forth through her tech on that because this has come up so fast and we
were squeezing in to a full schedule. I spoke with her today, but was
discussing her personal experience with these (she's seen similar in
dogs and rats, but not in ferrets in 20+ years of practice - and she
is an exotics vet). Is confusion with apocrine cyst likely in the
circumstances? (I'd really really love for it to be, but...ferrets).
Should I see if she still has the slide to send off somewhere?
Thanks
