scalesntails 118 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Could just be dehydration. Worst case would be insulinoma but not very likely unless your ferret is quite old. Quote Link to post

Joe67 239 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 if in doubt get to the vets,might regret leaving it to get ideas from people on forums. Quote Link to post
comanche 2,991 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Any chance there was a toad in the hole ?.Wild polecats will eat frogs but toads give off a nasty chemical that can cause foaming . On the other hand ,she might just have had a chunk of rabbit fur stuck in her mouth . Obviously if it continues serious help or investigation is on the cards .

Grubsy 1 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Cheers lads Def no badger, def just a rabbit bury. Last thing she had ate was liver / james welbeloved dry food. Def no poisons After bolting two rabbits (1 was a milky doe) She went back in for 10mins so thinking there was prob a nest in there? Shes from last years breeding so not old Could be something else down there but we shall never know??? She seems ok so i will just keep a close eye on her. ATB Grubsy Quote Link to post
