Hi Christopher
Our DEW caught pneumonia after my daughter kissed him
on the nose when she had a strep throat in summer!
Our (human) kids know they & their friends are not to
go anywhere near the ferrets when they have colds/flu
but sadly the sore throat bit didn't register.
A few days later I noticed our ferret breathing
heavily and took him to the vet who kept him in
hospital. Five days later he was dead :o(
If I were you, I'd be equally paranoid about both
colds and flu!
