Give the ferret 20-30 chest compressions slowly and then place your mouth over their nose and mouth and blow once. Repeat this method until the ferret starts to breathe. Our kit Sabrina has a clear teary eye. A friend and the Vet says it's probably a cold. She is normal in all the other ways. What I am thinking which I need to verify is maybe the towel she is sleeping on she is allergic to the soap or softener. Can this be possible, or could it be just a cold? My son reacted to the softener we used years ago. I think the day after we brought her home she could not open her eye and we used a towel and wiped the eye and it was fine.
