my 3 month old ferret keeps making these noises as if she swallowed something and is trying to bring it up or she just has allergies, she’s been doing it a lot for the past 2 days. i’m not sure what’s wrong, i’m thinking about taking her to the vet tomorrow

Thanks for reaching out about Cappy. Young ferrets with clinical signs of possible nausea, are commonly suspect with foreign body ingestion. A veterinary visit is recommended. Besides eating something they were not supposed to, intestinal infections paraistes or metabolic disease, should also be considered. Good luck.
