It sounds like it could be gastric ulcers. If Sinbad has black, tar-
like stools combined with the symptoms you listed, that might be it.
I am not a vet, but those are the symptoms listed on Dr. Williams
website. He could also have an intestinal blockage from a hairball or
something he should not have eaten. He really should be seen by a vet
who knows ferrets as soon as possible. Good luck.
