Subject: Help for Eris?

I posted this to FOBFerrets a few days back so this might look
familiar to some of you:

I need some help for my little black mitt girl Eris. We are going to
the vet on Friday and I would like some suggestions on what to look
for.

She is about three 1/2 years old (as far as I know). I have had her
for about two years now. She has always been healthy and spunky.
There has been no change in her poops. It seems she could be eating a
bit more but it's hard to tell. She has become very lethargic,
flat-ferreting when she comes out for play times or going right back
into the cage after 10-15 minutes to curl up and sleep. This is
really the only symptom I have noticed. I have had an insulinomic
ferret, and her symptoms do not seem the same - no drooling or
seizures or spaciness, though I think it may be a good idea to have
her blood sugar tested to be sure. She just seems tired.

Cardiomyopathy?
Lymphoma?


Any advice would be appreciated so we can possibly
start out on the right track.

Thanks,
Star
