I have to say that my recommendation with a ferret that is having
reproductive problems to this extent would be to spay her. If you breed her
while she is currently infected, the odds are that not only will she not
become pregnant, but that you risk infecting the male and any further females
he is mated with, depending on the cause of her infection.
