What IMAGING was done?
With ferrets it is so easy to miss heart disease and respiratory
disease if a veterinarian only listens, even a ferret vet who sees a
lot of ferrets. Pretty much anyone who has had ferrets for any length
of time will have had at least one ferret who sounded fine but the
x-rays or ultrasounds showed a very different story such as heart
disease or pneumonia. Ultrasound will even catch hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy and x-rays do not always pick up that problem though
they will show the dilative type of cardiomyopathy.
