Hi Cathy :o)

I had a little one that had gas. My vet feels it is not a very common problem with ferrets, and it is usually something else causing it. But it can happen, as it did with my little girl. The vet said to give her Malox Infant Gas Relief drops. This worked wonderful on her.
Please check with your vet, and if it truly is gas, and not something else, like blockage as others have stated causing the gas, the drops may work.
This has just been my experience. Not sure it if will help or not.
Please check with your vet before self-medicating, as I am not a vet and each case, as we all know is different.
