Hello all, We believe that Jake (approx 3-4 years old and 3 pounds at vet visit last month) has a Urinary Tract Infection. He has been going pee a little bit everywhere. We have 2 boxes, and he'll go from one to another. At first, we thought he was just faking it in order to get a treat. They know they get a treat after each litter use, and Jake has always been good at faking it to get an extra treat. (By the way, they just get their regular food - a mix of 4 high quality ferret foods - as a treat. If it comes from a human hand, they seem to think it's a treat) We noticed tonight that his urine is smelly and darker in color. According to "Ferrets for Dummies," this sounds like a Urinary Tract Infection. (It's a great book... a must for every ferret owner) I think that he just starting having these problems tonight, but... QUESTIONS, questions, questions: So, we need to get to the vet, right? Do we need to schedule an emergency visit, or anytime in the next week is fine? Can we treat him at home in any way? Why did he get a Urinary Tract Infection? Do we need to worry about the others (4 ferrets total)? We have Antirobe drops, an antibiotic, leftover from another ferret (we never used it). Can we use that? Should we just throw it out? Please feel free to send your thoughts to me via email or post to the FML. Any FHL responses need to be sent via email. Thanks in advance! -Eliza Donate to a shelter today!
