OK, my step-son has been diagnosed with this. As a favor, I am babysitting him during his mother's week, starting tomorrow. Well,i if you baby-sit 11 year olds...Anyways, I was wondering if this is contagious to ferrets, as some flu viruses are. I already keep everything really clan, love the smell of bleach, but need to know if he should avoid the downstairs where the ferret room is.
