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.
