I picked up a found male ferret last night. It has open oozing sores from head to tail, including the eyes. The nose is stuffed so it has to breathe through the mouth. At first I thought maybe it had been bitten by a dog. I cleaned him up and took him to the vet this morning. He thinks the sores are from the illness, and gave a shot each of Baytril and amoxycillin. If he gets better or not, we'll see. Does anyone have any ideas of what this may be? I have a lot of other ferrets here and this is my first real problem.
