Helicobacter Mustelae Gastritis in Ferrets






This disease can cause similar symptoms to proliferative colitis in ferrets.

You’ll notice that the symptoms can resemble those for gastric ulcers, as well.

Symptoms include:

Vomiting
Lack of appetite
Depression
Loss of weight
Grinding teeth
Dark, tarry stools

Take your ferret to the vet immediately if you notice any of the above.

When your ferret is on medication, make sure that you give it a high calorie, digestible food supplement to get it over the first few days of treatment, until it starts to feel like eating again.

Make sure your ferret gets small but frequent meals over the day, so that it can get its strength back as quickly as possible.
