Hyperestrogenism occurs when an intact jill remains unbred and in oestrus for an extended period of time. The most prominent sign of oestrus is vulvar swelling. The effects of prolonged exposure to high levels of endogenous oestrogen are alopecia and bone marrow suppression. Signs include petechial hemorrhages on the skin and mucous membranes, pallor, lethargy and generalized weakness.

Terminate the oestrus cycle with hormonal therapy (HCG), mate with a vasectomized male or an ovariohysterectomy. Hormonal therapy may not be effective in the moderate to severely affected case, therefore perform an ovariohysterectomy as soon as the patient is stable.

Ferrets have no discernable blood types, therefore it is possible to use multiple donors when performing blood transfusions. Provide other supportive care as needed. Attempt to stimulate the bone marrow with anabolic steroids or synthetic erythropoietin used at feline dosages.
