Ferrets are suseptible to human influenza and persons who have influenza
should not handle them. Signs are nasal and eye discharge, coughing,and
sneezing. Ferrets can usually get over this in 5-10 days.Some are put on
antibiotics,antihistamine and decongestants.I've found that letting Mother
Nature take its course has worked the best for me along with TLC, good
food,water and warmth.
