It is mucus. Usually it refers to the respiratory tract and the stuff people cough up when they have a common cold.

Pertussis Mode of transmission?

Adults and adolescents are the primary reservoir for pertussis.

How long is whooping cough contagious?

A person is contageous with Whooping cough (pertussis) for anywhere from 5 - 14 days during what is called the "catarrhal" stage. This is when you have a runny nose (generally with clear mucus), mild aches, sneezing, low-grade fever (perhaps) and other symptoms that appear to be like a cold. Whooping cough has three stages: catarrhal, paroxysmal and recovery. Antibiotics - if given during the first stage of the disease - help to more quickly reduce the impact of infection and reduce the period when you are infectious. Once you get to the second state (violent coughing fits), your body will deal with the infection in its own good time and antibiotics do little good. Recovery can take up to three to six months, or more, depending upon the severity of the disease and age. Relapses of coughing are common but tend to lessen in severity over time.


Your ferret has small dark green stools and lethargic?

That sounds like your ferret may have ECE which is a Mystery Virus. it was originally called the "greenies" but the actual name for it is epizootic catarrhal enteritis. Ferrets dont usually die from this disease specifically its more of the way the disease affects the rest of the body. All baby ferrets can carry ECE and when it is introduced to an older ferret, or a ferret recovering from an illness they are more prone to getting it. Take them to the vet IMMIDIATLY
