My new ferret is sneezing non-stop. When should I be concerned?

Question

I just adopted two 5 year old ferrets and one sneezes constantly. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Female | spayed

Without more of a history, it is difficult to determine if this is cause for concern. Monitor for lethargy, discharge from the eyes/nose/mouth, decreased appetite, fever, loose stool or weight loss. Since they are "new" to you, an exam with your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating ferrets would be recommended. At the very least, Wednesday will get a clean bill of health and you will get peace of mind.
