Hi
I am by no means any way, shape or form an expert; but I DO know that
ferrets can catch pretty much everything we can!! When I have any type
of ANYTHING I wash my hands before touching my babies, and NEVER, EVER
kiss them or in any way do anything that might pass on the bug.
I would also imagine that, if one ferret got it, it would pass to others
as they nose to nose and lick each other, etc.
What say you experts out there?
Carol in Bel Air

I had a member pose a question that I can't answer and was hoping that it
would be answered here - can ferrets catch strep throat and/or whooping cough?
