Hamsters are very cute, easy to care for and won’t cost you much money. Aside from the hamster’s cage you will only need to buy a bit of bedding and some food for your pet but how much can an animal that weighs only a few ounces eat?

Intestinal Blockages: Ferrets love to chew on anything they can find. This, in itself, can be quite entertaining unless a piece of plastic, material, rubber, or sponge is swallowed. Any foreign object can become trapped in the intestines, which will interfere with digestion and defecation. Often, older ferrets will develop hairballs that can lead to the same condition. In the case of an intestinal blockage, your ferret will show the following signs: loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy. An intestinal blockage usually has to be removed by surgery.

If they are abrasive in either manner or speech, you might want to redirect your business. If they are not conscious of their negative approach to your pet while you are there, think about how more negative are harmful the pet grooming professional will be if you are not there.

Hypoglycemia (Insulinoma): This condition afflicts ferrets usually after they are 2 years old. An insulinoma is a tumor located in the pancreas. As it grows, it causes the pancreas to produce an excess of insulin, which, in turn, causes the blood sugar level to drop. If this happens, your ferret will seem lethargic and sleep more than usual. You may notice the hind legs grow weak and that your ferret is producing an abundance of saliva. If untreated, your ferret can slip into a coma and die. This condition is usually treated with corticosteroids.

Adrenal Disease: This condition occurs when the adrenal glands begin to grow at an excessive rate and excrete too much hormone. Your ferret will start to lose its hair and scratch a lot. If you own a female ferret, you may notice that her vulva will become swollen. This can affect ferrets around 2 to 3 years of age. In order to correct this condition, surgery is usually required.

Aleutian Disease (Parvovirus): This is a very serious disease that affects the nervous system, liver, bladder, and kidneys. A ferret can be afflicted for 12 to 24 months without displaying any symptoms. When the symptoms do show up, they are very distinct. You will see tremors in your ferret’s head, weakness in the hind legs, extreme listlessness, and less frequent urination and defecation.

All pets can be susceptible to illnesses and diseases. By managing your ferrets diet and hygiene, regularly monitoring its health, and watching out for any signs of distress or sickness, you will have a good chance of keeping your ferret healthy. Of course, no amount of prevention can prevent all illnesses, and so, at the first sign of illness, always check with your veterinarian.
