 Canine distemperCaused by a virus, canine distemper results in discharges from the eyes and nose,
difficulty breathing, and diarrhea. Vaccination of young kits is recommended.
 RabiesRabies is rare in caged ferrets but can be caused by exposure to a rabid animal; vaccination will
prevent this from happening.
 Digestive bacterial infectionsLack of appetite, vomiting, teeth clenching or grinding, diarrhea, stools
stained black with blood, increased salivation, and abdominal pain are indications of bacteria infections.
Biopsy and tests are needed for accurate diagnosis. Treatment is with multiple antibiotics.
 BotulismCaused by contaminated food, this is another bacterial infection that can lead to breathing
difficulty and paralysis; death may occur.
 ParasitesDiscomfort, scratching, head shaking, and a buildup of debris in the external ear canal are signs.
Seek a veterinarian to determine mites present and treatment.
 InjuriesDoors, rocking chairs, refrigerator and freezer motors can be hazardous to these animals. Ferretproof
your house to prevent injuries to your pet
