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.
