Liver Cancer in Ferrets
Some of the symptoms are:
Weight Loss
Decrease in appetite
Weakness
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.
More information about liver cancer in ferrets can be found here (but be warned, the photos are pretty gruesome!)…
