21 Therefore the complete blood count (CBC) values of blood samples collected while a ferret is anesthetized must be carefully interpreted. Few sources have published reference ranges for blood coagulation times in ferrets. 8 Hemoglobin (g/dL) Red blood cells (¥106/mL) Reticulocytes (%) White blood cells (¥103/mL) Neutrophils Lymphocytes Monocytes Eosinophils Basophils Bands Platelets (¥103/mL) Mean corpuscular volume (mm3) Mean corpuscular hemogiobin (pg) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (%) Adapted with permission from Leo EJ, Moore WE, Fryer HC, et al: Hematological and serum chemistry profiles of ferrets (Mustela putorius furo).
8 The activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase in their livers is similar to that of cats. Therefore, acetaminophen glucuronidation is slower in ferrets than in other non-felid species. Unlike cats, however, no genetic mutations are associated with this slow metabolism, and the exact cause is not known. When dosed inappropriately, ibuprofen can also be toxic in ferrets (see Chapter 6). Therefore use any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with caution. The cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors may prove a better choice for pain management; however, as yet little is known about their use in ferrets.
GASTROINTESTINAL PARASITISM GI parasites are uncommon in ferrets. However, any ferret with diarrhea should have a complete fecal parasite check, including a direct fresh wet mount and fecal flotation. In juvenile ferrets, nematodiasis is rare, but coccidiosis and giardiasis are occasionally seen. 7 Rectal prolapse is possible. Base the diagnosis of coccidiosis on fecal testing, either by direct wet mount and microscopic examination or by fecal flotation. Follow the same treatment protocols as for canine and feline patients with coccidiosis.
