It's depends on the extent of the injury and if you have the funds. Never let a ferret around any rodents, such as mice, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs or rabbits as ferrets were bred to hunt them.

A ferret should be taken to the veterinarian if sick without fail. Most vets treat all types of animals,and ferrets are a common pet and working animal. Any vet will treat a ferret without question.

No! Motrin, iburprofen, acetaminophen, and naproxen are all FATAL to ferrets. If you are concerned, call up a vet and ask them what you could give your ferret before taking him in. However, if your ferret has a fever, you should probably get him to a vet. Ferrets can catch the flu types A and B, which can kill them. Make sure your ferret is hydrated and eating well.

When do male ferrets go into heat?

Male ferrets (and mammals) don't really ever go into heat seeing as they don't have a uterus and can't go through their menses. However, male ferrets will become more aggressive when around a female in heat. Especially when that female is another ferret.
