Hello everyone, I am Angela. I am a proud owner of a beautiful female fuzzy named Fie-Fie. She is 11 months old now and she has brought lots of joy and excitement to my life. But I am having a little problem with her right now...I took her to the vet 3 days ago cause she was acting very strange, she wasnt eating, or drinking any water. She also acted very lathargic and not happy like usual. She had a bad smell coming form her urine,so of course I took her to the vet. The vet told me she thought Fie Fie has the flu so she gave me an antibiotic for her. Well she has been on it now for 4 days now and she acts somewhat better, but she still acts very lazy and not playful. She is eating better but she just still isnt the happy Fie Fie that she used to be. So I am still very worried about her...can anyone tell me, can ferrets get depressed?
The only thing different we have changed is her cage we got her a 2 story cage. And when she 1st got into it she rolled all over it and she was very happy. But I am a little worried cause just recently, while shes been sick, she gets in her cage and itches fiersly! Like shes being attacked by fleas, but she doesnt have one single flea on her? so what could it be? she dont seem to itch outside of her cage really...so please if anyone can help me i'd greatly appreciate it!! Thank you for your time!
Sincerly, Angela.
