QUESTION:
I don't know if you can help me but my ferret gets the hiccups quite often. I'm
just curious if this a common thing among ferrets or is there something wrong
with him. Anyway I was just curious on feedback. Is it his diet? Any information
would be helpful.
ANSWER:
It is common for ferrets to have hiccups on occasion, however if it is frequently,
then you need to consult with a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about ferrets.
If you need a vet in your area, let me know I will try to help you find one.
What are you feeding your ferret, since you asked if it could be the food? Are
you leaving food available at all times, going hungry then rushing his food might
cause hiccups, plus not digesting well could be another reason.
You will need to observe HOW he eats AND IF HE IS EATING FREQUENTLY, these observations
will help your vet with his diagnosis. If I can help with anything else then
please let me know.
