Question
Hello,

   Brisbie is a 10 year old cinnamon ferret. She has been extremely lethargic for the past day. she even falls asleep in our laps which is unheard of. Her appetite is good. and her potties looks normal. we are used to a lot of sleeping but this is not normal. It's Saturday and all the vets are closed. Her breathing seems a little labored.

  could this be old age catching up to her?

Answer
Hello Aaron and Brisbie,

Lethargy is a symptom of so many different things, I don't feel comfortable giving any tips at this point. Have you noticed anything else? I know it has been a few days since you asked this question, and I apologize. If you still need help, please don't hesitate to ask and I will do all that I can.

Sincerely,
Emilee Andrews
