You should check in
http://ferrethealth.org/vets/
Many of us have to travel for vet care.
I have heard of something similar in a
different species due to an unhealed break.
Is the swelling in the back, front or side of the leg?
This one is a front leg rather than a back one:

If it were from DIM there definitely would be
more going on long before now.
I don't know how it might present if leiomyosarcoma
is a possibility, just that it was one of the considerations
we eliminated when Chiclet had DIM.
There were also a great many types of infections Chiclet
was checked for, including one species of mycobacterium.
