Pregnancy toxemia, is a disease caused by a negative energy balance in late gestation, is seen commonly in ewes, guinea pigs, and rabbits, and occasionally in cows, ferrets, sows, and many other species

Pregnancy toxemia in ferrets usually occurs between 32 and 42 days gestation. The sudden illness or death of the Jill just before she is due to give birth is almost always associated with inadequate nutrition, decreased feed intake, or fasting. Maintaining adequate nutrition and avoiding stress late in gestation may prevent this disease. Pregnancy toxemia in ferrets is a disease caused by a negative energy balance in late gestation.

Toxemia, particularly in the context of pregnancy (known as gestational hypertension or preeclampsia), does not have a definitive cure but can be managed effectively. The most effective treatment is delivery of the baby, especially if the condition is severe. Management may also involve monitoring blood pressure, medications, and addressing symptoms to ensure the health of both mother and baby. Early detection and proper prenatal care are crucial in minimizing risks associated with toxemia.
Yes, smoking can contribute to toxemia, particularly during pregnancy. The harmful substances in tobacco smoke can affect maternal health and lead to complications such as high blood pressure and preeclampsia, which are associated with toxemia. Additionally, smoking may impair blood flow and oxygen delivery to the fetus, exacerbating potential health risks. Reducing or eliminating smoking can help improve outcomes for both the mother and the baby.
