Diarrhea in Ferrets


The following are some of the causes for diarrhea:

  • ECE
  • Toxins
  • Rotavirus
  • Parasites
  • Foreign bodies
  • Food intolerance
  • Helicobacter Mustelidae
  • Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis

Ferrets with a severe case of diarrhea can get dehydrated very quickly.

Take it to the vet immediately but if that isn’t possible, get some electrolytes into it. Pedialyte, an electrolyte solution for babies, is okay to use as an interim measure until you get your ferret to the vet.





There's an interesting article about diarrhea in ferrets at the PetPlace website.
