Ferrets can subsist on a diet of water and meat similar to that given the domestic cat. Edit>>> Look, you keep a dietary section on dogs, cats, even goldfish, i don't understand why a dietary section reflecting the current scientific philosophy on ferret diets is unacceptable? These do not prevent infection but do significantly reduce the severity of the signs and symptoms.

In ferrets, the virus affects the immune system (causing it to produce non-neutralizing antibodies) and many internal organs, particularly the kidneys. Due to the mite’s ability to live off the host for a duration of time, a ferret can become easily infected without ever coming into contact with an infected species.

As far as I know it's one of the best, if not the best, source for ferret welfare in the UK. The only protection against the virus is vaccination, but that is not without controversy as there have been reports, particularly from the US, of ferrets going into anaphylactic shock after being vaccinated against CD. Baby ferrets should be with their mothers until they reach a minimum of six weeks old - that's when the pet stores separate them, but almost every breeder will tell you that is far too young, and possibly the reason that ferrets develop bad habits such as suckling or eating fabrics and other items dangerous to ingest. ````Topher — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.201.89.146 (talk) 02:57, 11 January 2014 (UTC), The Regulation section needs some overview of the reasons given when ferrets are restricted by law.

[14] Dental abrasion can also be caused by excessive chewing on fabrics or toys and cage biting.

Once she has laid her eggs, the female mite dies and the eggs will hatch into larvae three to eight days afterward. The human influenza virus (Influenza type A) was transmitted from an infected ferret to a junior investigator, from whom it was subsequently re-isolated.

It initially appears as a small, yellow, scab-like infection. Eating manufactured dry food (kibble) will erode (due to the hard and extremely dry kibble) the carnassial teeth of the ferret,[1] becoming significant after three to five years. The biomechanics of consuming meat and bones will keep the teeth clean.

This will result in a loss in weight and a loss in body condition.

They can also survive this long in the infected sheep’s hoof.

[9], Owners may not easily identify deafness in their ferret; affected ferrets may have behavioral or training problems, or may have greater than usual social conflict with other ferrets.

When just the feet are affected, the condition is also known as ‘ferret foot rot’. Bought in animals infected with the disease are able to transfer the bacteria to the farm when introduced to new flocks. Both goldfish and dogs have an up to date nutritional or dietary requirement. –adjective

Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets hybridize easily with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of polecat–ferret hybrids that have caused damage to native fauna, especially in New Zealand. Mites can remain in the ferret’s environment for up to six days in the home, so proper sanitation is a must.

Ferrets treated for adrenal disease may temporarily have severe hair loss as their bodies recover from the disease. Our IRBP date of 340 ka for the divergence of the Mustela putorius furo lineage, however, is in agreement with both our other divergence-time estimates (Table 4) and the fossil-based minimum age of approximately 400 ka for the emergence of Mustela putorius (Wolsan, 1993e).

The entire process only takes two to three weeks to complete.

The cells will then be analyzed under microscopic view, revealing the presence of a mite or a collection of mites.

As trauma continues, secondary skin infections will cause the sores to bleed, seep pus, and cause the ferret to experience a rise in bodily temperature.

Sarcoptes scabiei usually infects dogs, but ferrets, cats, and even humans can be infected for a short period of time. Enthusiasts may supplement this diet with shelled peas (with outer skins removed), blanched green leafy vegetables, and bloodworms.

The earliest African record of Mustela putorius is late Pleistocene in age (Aouraghe, 2000) and thus younger than 130 ka (Kolfschoten and Gibbard, 2000; Sánchez Gon~i et al., 2000).

we are talking about a bottle cap full of heavy cream here, with the full days diet, so the amounts required to trigger an issue with lactose are not manifest, i guess. In addition to treating the ferret itself for mange, the environment must also be properly cleaned.

Neither Dogs nor Cats have an entry stating their *ancestors* used to feed on organs, feathers, meat and beaks.

Obviously this is a joke and needs to be redacted. A hairball may enter the intestine and cause a life-threatening obstruction.

Otherwise, the disease may be mistaken for laminitis, foot scald, or abscesses. I cited the referenced source.

Perhaps someone else can deal with.

Like many other carnivores, ferrets have scent glands near their anuses, the secretions from which are used in scent marking.

Ferrets are injured easily, whether it’s from chewing on wires or hiding under a recliner. Tooth erosion eventually affects a ferret's ability to eat solid food. The surgical wound should be checked for any redness, soreness, heat or discharge.
