Splenomegaly in Ferrets






The condition can be caused by a helicobacter infection or cancer, but most times it's not known why ferrets develop enlarged spleens.

Symptoms include:

Swollen abdomen
Poor appetite
Lethargy

Although enlarged spleens are quite common in ferrets, it’s wise to take your ferret to the vet to make sure that the cause is not due to something sinister.
