Has the vet seen Henry yet? No one has mentioned this as a possibility, and I hope that is not what is going on in Henry's case, but a really swollen abdomen could mean an enlarged spleen... and the common reasons for that is some sort of infection that is going on, or, lymphoma, and if he is only 3 mths old, you are possibly looking at juvenile lymphoma. Hopefully that is not Henry's case, but yes, spleens can get so enlarged they can rupture. If he hasn't seen a knowledgeable ferret vet yet, I would get him in asap.

Hi,
You'll be happy to know that the vet said that the reason for
Henry's constant consumption of food and water is purely
psychological. Thanks for all of your support.
