My ferret seems to have lost a lot of weight recently, but is still eating.

[]

Answer

Unexplained weight loss in a ferret, even if they are still eating, is a significant concern and requires prompt veterinary attention. Ferrets are prone to several serious health conditions, such as adrenal disease, insulinoma, or gastrointestinal issues, which can cause weight loss despite a good appetite. A thorough veterinary examination, including blood tests and possibly other diagnostics, will be necessary to determine the cause and initiate appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
