My ferret was lost for weeks, now found. What to do for his health?

Question

Hi, my ferret was lost for maybe two weeks and more and I was leaving food out but I thought it was a cat eating it after my mom said she say the neighbors cat. We just found him and eating fine and even exploring as he regularly would be but I don’t know how he’ll be and I’d really like to know what you think.

That’s a great news! Casper probably managed to find food and a safe place to hide. Hopefully he will stay the same as now, playful and happy. Just monitor him for few days. I suggest to have him checked by the vet if you observe any of this sign: lethargy, diarrhoea, vomiting, reduces energy level, lumping, lack of appetite or anything different compared to his normal self before he got lost. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope this answer was helpful.
