Ferret needs friend, but worried about ECE - Sunday, May 07, 2017 1:30 PM
Two years ago my ferret, Max, became really sick with ECE (Epizootic catarrhal enteritis) after we got a baby ferret, who showed no signs of illness other than stool smelled a bit odd. I nursed Max back to health and he's been fine ever since with totally normal stools that smell normal. Sadly, my other ferret passed away awhile ago. I've been thinking of getting another ferret, but I'm too afraid. I'm worried either he could catch the virus again or give it to the new ferret. I've tried to research it but unclear if the ferret becomes a carrier after having it or is immune after catching it once. Has anyone ever had any experience like this? Or know if it would be safe to get another ferret?
