Liver Cancer in Ferrets


Some of the symptoms are:

Weight Loss
Decrease in appetite
Weakness
Lethargy
Lethargy
Distended abdomen
Yellowish tinge to eyes
Yellowish gums

But some ferrets with liver cancer don’t show any of the above symptoms.

If your ferret shows any signs of not being itself, take it to the vet to be checked.

Most times they will do exploratory surgery, as it is better than an ultrasound for determining any problems.



The Long Beach Animal Hospital has an article, with some fairly graphic pictures, about a ferret which was operated for liver cancer.

It’s only meant to supply general information on a particular illness which was obtained either from personal experience with my sick ferrets, or from books and/or the Internet.
