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.
