Hairballs in Ferrets
I have never encountered a problem with hairballs in my ferrets (touch wood), but it can cause concern for owners.
Keep an eye out for
Vomiting
Lack of interest in food
Decreased appetite
Thin, ribbon-like poop
If you brush your ferret's coat regularly during the shedding period, it'll cut down on the amount of hair it will ingest when grooming itself.
As the same symptoms could be indicative of a serious blockage, do not self-treat your ferret with a hairball remedy if you suspect that. Take it to your vet and have it checked out.
