My ferret is unusually sleepy and seems to have less energy than usual. What should I do?

[]

Answer

While ferrets do sleep a lot, a noticeable increase in lethargy, especially if accompanied by a lack of interest in food or play, is concerning. This could indicate a number of serious conditions, including insulinoma (a pancreatic tumor common in ferrets), adrenal disease, or heart issues. Ferrets are prone to specific health problems that require prompt veterinary attention. It is crucial to have your ferret examined by a veterinarian experienced with exotic pets as soon as possible. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
