Common Diseases
Ferrets are the only animal in the world that catch flu like humans do. Symptoms can be a runny nose, sneezing, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Just like in humans, this will usually pass on its own, although in serious cases, amoxicillin is usually prescribed to help any secondary infections.
Vaccinations
Ferrets require only two vaccinations, both of which are extremely important for the life of the ferret.
An Experienced Vet
An experienced ferret vet can mean the difference between life and death for your ferret.
