Pneumonia in Ferrets
Ferrets are very susceptible to the human flu virus so if you have it, stay away from your ferrets if possible. Watch out for: Lack of appetite Lethargy Fever Labored or rattling breathing
If a ferret catches the
flu,
it could turn into pneumonia. And if a ferret is left without medical treatment should that happen, it could turn out to be a death sentence for it. If you think your ferret is not improving in your care, take it to your vet for professional advice and treatment.
