Ferret ECE Disease - contd.
In most cases, the prognosis is very good for ferrets with ECE. The disease usually lasts from five to seven days. Some ferrets can remain ill with abnormal appearing stools for extensive periods lasting up to one month. In severe or prolonged cases of disease, clinical signs can linger for six months or more. Occasionally, a ferret will appear to have recovered fully, only to show signs of ECE weeks to months later.
