Ferrets are very susceptible to the human flu virus so if you have it, please stay away from your ferrets but if that’s not possible, please wear a face mask.
If a ferret catches the flu, it could turn into pneumonia and if a ferret gets pneumonia, it really is a death sentence if the owner does not act!
Watch out for:
Lack of appetite- Lethargy
- Fever
- Labored or rattling breathing
So please … if you think your ferret is not improving in your care, take it to your vet for professional advice and treatment and DO NOT wait too long to do that!
