I'm not sure one can say that there's a certain set reaction that you will observe when a ferret is having a hypoglycemic seizure. The ones I have experienced have all included a ferret that was totally unresponsive, occasional tremors, though I wouldn't describe it as shaking and rythmic gasping for air. I haven't been through enough, thank goodness, to say that they all react in a certain way.
