Eclamptogenic Toxemia in Ferrets


This problem can occur a few days after the jill has given birth and it is still not fully understood what causes it to happen.

Symptoms include:

No interest in food
Weakness
Weight loss
Muscular incoordination

Ignoring these symptoms can cause death, so please make sure you take her to the vet if you suspect anything untowards.

If you have a pregnant jill, you can usually prevent any problems with eclamptogenic toxemia by adding uncooked, fresh liver to your jill’s diet – but don’t give her too much as it’ll cause diarrhea.
