My ferrets stool is bloody, help?

Question

So i just got home from work, and noticed my ferret had a slightly bloody stool. My boyfriend said he's been acting fine but i'm really concerned. i know he hasn't been stressed out lately and he did just go to the vet 2 days ago for his rabies shot. If he's still bloody tomorrow then he's going to the vet right away, but should i be too concerned for now?

Answer 1

There should be an emergency vet clinic in your area, and often vets have an after hours emergency number. Assuming this is not a large amount of blood, there could be several causes. Is it possible that your fuzzy has ingested something that has caused a blockage? I lost a ferret to that many years ago. I highly recommend that you contact a vet as soon as possible and try to collect a stool sample if possible to bring with you (store it in a container and keep it cooled).

Also, are you sure it is blood? Could your fuzzy have eaten something with red food coloring in it? Popsicle? Jello?

Answer 2

go to google and type in ferret/medical and hopefully that helps if not please take the little guy/gal to your vet first thing ,good luck.

Answer 3

he is sick

go to the doctor

Answer 4

it could be an ulcer. you could give him a little pepto 'til the vet sees him. when my 5 year old got an ulcer she was dosed with amoxicillin and pepto and it helped. http://www.ferretcentral.org/faq/med/ulc... if it is an ulcer though he should go quickly. well, regardless he should go quickly. take him as soon as possible.
