Hi Nichole,
Sorry to hear your ferret has crypto. A couple of
things to consider: crypto is present in soil, especially in
areas with pigeon or bird feces, and ferrets that have it, may have
an immune system problem (ie on pred or have lymphoma).
One case report was indeed a ferret with lymphoma that they
found the crypto in his lymph nodes on the neck.
Good luck with your little guy.
