Subject: [ferrethealth] Re:Ferret with FIP?
Hi Andrea,
Good question, but we do not know the answer yet.
The ferret enteric coronavirus (i.e. ECE) is contagious,
but we do not know enough about the ferret systemic corona
(i.e. FIP) virus to know if it is contagious to other ferrets
(or to cats) yet. If any of your other ferrets start to lose
weight or have a decreased appetite, it would be a good
thing to have them checked by your vet(s) and to have
their globulin levels (esp. gammaglobulins) checked.
The sooner they are started on Pediapred the better.
Happy Holidays,
Jerry Murray, DVM
