Strange ferret noses...?

Question

so today i went out to feed the cuties when i noticed something odd about koko's nose then kiki came out and her nose was odd, not the whole nose but around the top in one big patch its kinda purple i examined it closer, and still i can't decide weather its just dust or a bruise or something, but its odd. their going to the vets next week for vaccinations should it wait til then or is it urgent? their not in pain their being themselves, should i try wiping it to see if it comes off?, i've been all over the net and can't find anything, and worst of all out of all the ferrets i've ever had this has never happened!. please answer quickly! (p.s sorry for my bad grammar im just really worried :{.)

Answer 1

Try to wash the discolor off off your ferrets nose, make sure your ferrets are eating and drinking and going to the bathroom, if they are eating and drinking and using the bathroom okay than they should be okay until you go to the vet. If you feel that it can wait, and or they are not going to the bathroom or eating well enough to make you feel comfortable than i would take them asap.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Nose looks a bit purple?  I'm willing to bet she has bruised her nose or has some kind of head trauma from a fall.  Ferrets are sometimes too brave for their own good.  She may have leaped from a bed or piece of furniture and hurt herself.  A lot of times ferrets will act healthy even if they are not.  Its part of their own defense mechanism.  ('survival of the fittest')

Give your vet a call.  Explain that your ferret has possibly injured itself.  If you have a good vet, they will fit you in.  She has to go either way so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Wish you luck!
