Did you know that there is heartworm testing for ferrets? If you’re
not sure if your ferret is on heartworm medication or if you just
adopted or purchased a ferret then you should talk to your vet about
heartworm testing. Your ferret can be tested for heartworms. If they are
positive then aggressive and immediate treatment will be needed.
Treatment is not always successful. For this reason, testing when
negative should be followed up with prevention medication. Prevention
medicine is given once a month and can protect your ferret. Heartworm
tests should be performed yearly. Prevention medication is not available
for a ferret that has tested positive until he has been treated and
tests negative. Heartworm prevention can be given in an oral form and
for some injections. Click here to learn more or call your veterinary
clinic Wichita, KS and to schedule a heartworm test for your ferret.
