My Ferret.

Question
I just got my ferret from a local pet shop. He is sweet as can be and very little. I feel he is sick. He is very lethargic and it seems he can't drink from his water bottle. His eye also winked and stayed winked for a while until i realized his water bottle problem, gave him some water from a little bowl, and his eye opened again. I am very worried about him though. I am scared he is sick. I am not sure what his "leavings" should look like, but they seem normal. He is also not eating too much either.

Answer
Dear Brittain,

I very sorry about what is happening to your ferret. But I am not a vet and I can't give you medical advice. I strongly advice you to take him to a vet ASAP.

I really hope nothing is too horrible wrong with him and I wish you luck.

Keeping you and your ferret in my thoughts,
Lindsey
