Ferrets are smart and highly inquisitive. They love to sleep and once they wake up they become busy and active. These small pets with big personalities have certainly become well-loved pets in many households with children.

Like other pets, ferrets also need regular checkups to ensure their health and wellbeing. Regular wellness checks can also allow your vet to detect early signs of illness for a more favorable prognosis. They also need to be vaccinated against distemper annually to protect them from the disease.

Ferrets can also be infested with parasites, both external and internal. They can pick up fleas or ear mites from infected dogs or cats. You should ask your Parker, CO veterinarian about the best way to protect your pet ferret against these parasites especially if you have a multi-pet household.
