Dead Ferret syndrome.


Sounds scary doesnt it, well it is! Scared me half to death when I found my Ferret like this.....



Could not wake him up, like he was in a coma. Rang the Vet, engaged!! Quick look on the hunting site (with Ferreting section) within 2 mins of posting I had 4 replies, saying its normal! Dead Ferret syndrome, alive, but in a deep sleep. He woke a couple moments later as if to say "what do you want!!"

Erk! Very scary....

Sailor did that once, although ive never heard of Dead Cat Syndrome.... exactly the same thing, he was lying on the back of a chair, and i went to stroke him and he was limp and i couldnt see him moving at all, picked him up and he was totally floppy, still no reaction and i SCREAMED like a big girl cos i did honestly think he was dead....

And he opened his eyes and gave me a very dirty look for waking him up!
