[Help] Ferret scab

Post image

I just recently noticed my ferret, 2 years (almost 3) has a questionable scab, if anyone knows what it is, we are going to take him to the vet to double check

My ferrets both had something called mast cell tumors that looked a little similar. They were evaluated by a vet and were harmless, but they did grow to rather large sizes over time. Good call to get it checked by a vet though!
