Pyometra in Ferrets






This is caused by an infection of the uterus which results in pus accumulating in that area.

Symptoms include:

Vaginal discharge
Fever
Lethargy
Loss of appetite

When Mash had a phantom pregnancy the year after we got her, we noticed her lying listlessly in her hammock one morning and when I picked her up, it was obvious her temperature was way too high.

We took her to the vet immediately and after an examination, he performed an emergency ovariohysterectomy on her.

Fortunately everything went well and she recovered fully but if it had been ignored, it could have caused her uterus to rupture and peritonitis might have set in.
