QUESTION:
I'm making an appointment for my ferret but thought I'd check into this in the meantime. I have an albino ferret that has developed a sort of bulb at the end of her tail. It doesn't seem to cause her distress but she obviously needs to be seen. I was looking at it when I bathed her and you can see veins running through it. Have you ever heard of anything like this before?

ANSWER:
It sounds as if your ferret may have a CHORDOMA which is quite common in ferrets and can be easily removed. Perhaps you should read about it just incase this is what it is:

Go to HEALTHCARE and then put in a search for CHORDOMAS.
