Acute Renal Failure in Ferrets
Several things can cause acute renal failure – rupture of the bladder; obstruction of the urethra; disruption of blood flow to the kidneys; and toxic substances. Signs to watch for are: Loss of appetite Vomiting Changes in drinking habits and urination Weakness Lethargy
If you notice your ferret straining in the litter box, or if you see that your ferret is producing less urine than normal, as well as any of the signs listed above, take it to the vet immediately as acute renal failure is a life-threatening condition.
