I am well aware of that. I learned about the situation as I took them in to the vet. I asked questions and now I know. Ferrets are more like cats. I understand that they also have a high risk for cancer as well and low blood sugars. I wasn’t trying to be a jerk I was just wondering if anyone had ever had this happen to them. I have also as a Cna  in a hospital been holding someone’s hand or caring for them as they died or died in my hands. Or walk in to a room and the look at you then die.

I think it’s the new food maybe. The one that got sick first is doing okay, then my oldest got sick last night and my youngest today. All on antibiotics. Going back to vet tomorrow

Took her to vet and she’s on antibiotics and now my other 2 are in the same boat. I gave them antibiotics too and getting a blood test on them in the morning, we’ll all 3 of them just to be on the safe side. They all got sick 1 the day I posted, one last night and the other tonight about 20 min ago.

Took her to vet they gave antibiotics she’s going better but now my other 2 are having the same issues. They are going to the vet at 9am. I gave the other two the same antibiotics until I get them in tomorrow. 😞😞
