Simpson123 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hey, One of my jills has started getting a blue belly? Around the areas near its bits? I have no clue why it is ike that. Also her paws are starting to get a bit blue also? Then run round their piping but they have been doing this for ages and i wouldnt think that they couuld of got it from there. So i have no idea. Can anyone have any suurgestions? Thanks, Simpson123 Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I have found this reference to blue skin in ferrets A ferret’s skin is not always pinkish-grey. One common shock to ferret owners is when the skin appears to be blue or purple. In most cases, this is not bruising; in ferrets with darker fur, it is often a sign of new hair growth. During coat changes in spring and fall, the skin may appear blue immediately before the new coat emerges. Blue or purple skin is most apparent in ferrets who have lost their hair due to disease or surgery. Don’t worry, new fur will appear in a few days! Quote Link to post
