Expert Answer

A pet ferret with a cold usually shows sneezing, runny nose, poor appetite, difficulty breathing, and lethargy, with a few cases vomiting. If not treated promptly, a ferret cold can lead to secondary infection, causing pneumonia or rhinitis.

Therefore, if you notice cold symptoms, keep the ferret warm right away and you may give it a suitable amount of isatis-root (banlangen) granules. If the symptoms do not improve, take it to a vet promptly.
