Mastitis in Ferrets






This can occur when the jill is feeding her kits soon after birth.

If you find that your jill's teats are

swollen
hot
painful
reddish in color
hard as marbles

then please take her to the vet immediately.

If left untreated, the jill can become lethargic and stop eating, and could even die. She will also stop feeding the kits, so it is very important to get her to the vet for treatment.

It's usually caused by one of the following

  • Streptococcus sp
  • Staphylococcus sp
  • Escherichia coli
