Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Weight Loss in 2 Ferrets
Hi Caity,
We will definitely get the two to a vet. We originally thought Spikes
weight loss was due to increased activity. We got him from a rescue in
November and he was a fatty. At the shelter, he was kept in a cage with
a limited amount of playtime. He also didnt seem to associate with any
of the other ferrets there. He just went off into a corner by himself.
When we took him home, Freak and Spike were up playing at all hours of
the night. So we just thought Spikes weight loss was healthy due to
the playtime and having a playmate. They get free run of my fiancees
office.
Thanks again,
Brenda

That is not normal. It sounds like a serious problem and needs to be
addressed by a vet.
