WHY SHOULD YOU DEWORM YOUR FERRET?

WHY SHOULD YOU DEWORM YOUR FERRET?

- Ferrets can be carriers of various types of intestinal parasites without presenting any symptoms. The majority of these parasites are transmissible to other domestic animals (dogs and cats) and humans (zoonosis).
- When acquiring a ferret, a fecal analysis is recommended to identify for the presence of parasites. A fresh stool sample should be brought to your veterinarian for this to be done. A fecal analysis will allow the veterinarian to establish appropriate treatment based on the parasites identified.
- During the summer period (between the months of april and november), a monthly dewormer is recommended for ferrets who have access to outdoors.
