Urinary Tract 'Stones' in Ferrets Print
Treatment
Once the type of urolith is diagnosed and located, your veterinarian will devise a treatment plan. If the uroliths can not be dissolved with antibiotics, surgery is required to remove the “stones.” Fluid therapy is also necessary to maintain the ferret well hydrated.
Living and Management
Once the stones are removed, your veterinarian will devise a dietary and living plan for your ferret.
Prevention
Providing a well-balanced, healthy diet for your ferret may help prevent uroliths from forming in your rat. But because there are various causes for the condition, there is no surefire way to prevent it. Share this page 0 COMMENTS
