I had posted this earlier, but I don't think anyone read it thorougly. This cannot be a heart problem, seeing as the youngest ferret (that didn't have the cough) has it now. Unless heart conditions were contageous and I wasn't aware. My oldest one with the insulinoma does NOT have the coughing. It's the two younger ones that do.
Could this problem be caused by allergies that are common in ferrets? Things that I could be using to clean ie laundry detergent, floor cleaners, litter deodorizor that could be causing this? Please give suggestions!
Hi, I was just wondering what could be going on here. I have 3 ferrets. Gus came to me from a home that didn't take care of him at all. Ever since I got him, he's had this cough. Now the vet said that it could just be hair stuck and to give him some hairball removal. I tried that. It didn't stop. Now the coughing isn't excessive, but it does sound like there's something in his throat that he's trying to get out. <b>BUT, I just got a young ferret not long ago, and introduced the two. Now, the younger one has this cough as well.</b> Is there anything that this could be caused by? Gus has been on various antibiotics for other things that have happened, and those didn't stop the coughing.
If you have information regarding THIS problem, please reply.
Thanks for your help.
Anna, Wish, Gus and Oskar.
