I have 18 ferrets in my home right now that have the flu. On January the 3rd I came home from Florida with the flu and did not get out of bed for six days. The following week one of my ferrets starting sneezing and coughing so I brought her to the vet to find out that my flu could be contracted by the ferrets. It has now been three weeks since I was sick and all of my ferrets have the same symptoms. I came close to losing one three year old male, but with feedings every two hours for three days he is better. Watch out for the ferrets when a bug is going around!!
