When a ferrets vulva gets bigger does that mean they are going to give birth?
After the female ferret in bred the vulva decreases in size, but will remain somewhat swollen. There may be a mucous discharge from the vagina, which is normal, but if it is yellow/brownish and/or foul smelling, it indicates an infection that needs medical attention.
What is a ferret's vulva?
A ferret's vulva is the same as a human's vulva - those parts of the female sex organs that can be seen outside the body. If your ferret's vulva appears swollen, especially at this time of year, then she is almost certainly in season and will need to either mate (with a vasectomised male if you know of anybody with one) or get a "jill jab" hormone injection from your vet otherwise she will develop aplastic anaemia - a potentially fatal condition.
Why does your altered female ferret have an enlarged vulva?
There are several possible causes. The only person who can tell you for sure is a vet. Please take you ferret to a vet as soon as possible as a swollen vulva can be the sign of serious problems. I have put some possible causes below The ferret is in heat - The female ferret has come into heat. She will need to be bred or given a special vaccination to bring her back out of heat. A female ferret will not come out of heat by herself and remaining in heat is very dangerous. Staying in heat can cause her to develop aplastic anaemia which can be fatal. A partial spay - If the female was spayed at a very young age she may have what is called an incomplete or partial spay. This is rare but can occur when a female is spayed before she is fully grown. Adrenal disease - If your ferret is also starting to lose fur (beginning at her tail and spreading towards her body) it is a sign that she may have adrenal disease. She will need medical treatment as soon as possible. All of the above require immediate medical attention.
