One of our club members has just had a 10 month old ferret die after a short
illness. A post mortem diagnosed amyloidosis. This ferret had a brother in
another household die after suffering the same symptoms but no post mortem
was performed.

I have never heard of this disease in ferrets in Western Australia before.

Can anybody tell me if is has occurred elsewhere, or if it can be
associated with any other underlying cause.

Thank you,
Shirley
