I don't have any suggestions, but I can tell you that Dr. Williams has said it here dozens of times... when a ferret is not eating, their liver values can be way off and it's not necessarily meaningful. Find out what's really wrong, get them back to eating and the liver values will probably return to normal. Obviously, Dr. Williams can tell you more on this topic.
