For what it's worth I've been sneezing like crazy and I've had larangytis for over a week...
You may thing that nothing has changed in his environment but in fact... the prevailing winds blow around our planet every year.. the reason we get new flus is because the one that leaves here and blows across the Atlantic mutates through Europe, hits China and mutates more then comes back to us.... Now that takes a year and by the time the virum are back here guess what.. NEW AND IMPROVED.. and that's why flu shots are often said to not really work on the "current" flu.. the vaccine is based on last years virus and not this years mutation..
Ok there is also dirt, dust, pollen, mites, and whatever else allergens blowin' on the wind.. So our environment is never really the same (unless ya live in a bubble).. If he gets congested give him a bit of benedryl. I gave Brandon (my last original fuzzy) about a quarter to a half TSP of Airborne last night. I'm drinking it so I shared (I'm not gunna say what other goodie I shared wit my Brandon boy).

Hi All,
I have a young male ferret that has been sneezing off and on all day. Nothing has changed in his environment. Food and water the same, blankets, hammies and litter the same, room temp the same. Anyone have any ideas on what to give him or what might be causing it?
I haven't checked the archives yet but will do so as soon as I give 2 of my other babies their pred. Any and all ideas are very welcome.
Thanks
Lynne and the brats
