Chordoma in FerretsA chordoma is a tumor believed to originate from the embryonal remnants of the notochord and is usually seen at the tip of the tail, making it look similar to the knob of a club. They are easily removed surgically and the cancer doesn’t seem to spread to other areas from the tail. However a chordoma can also appear in a ferret’s cervical region.
There is an short article with a photo of a chordoma on Dr Bruce Williams' site.
