Subject: Refusing to eat?

I have a 4 year old female that is refusing to eat. I have taken her
to the vet, and the vet can not find anything to explain to explain
her lack of appetite. Her blood work is within limits on everything,
her stool is okay, and every x-ray taken shows nothing abnormal. I
evan had her teeth cleaned thinking that might be the problem. I can
force her to eat ferret food blinded with water. The only thing out
of the ordinary is that she that goes nuts rubing her face on the
carpet after eating. But I have not noticed any teeth grinding.
There has not been any weight lose or decrease in activity, but this
has been going on sense Thanksgiving. The only thing that the vet
recommends is that I find a vet with more knowledge about ferrets,
which I thought she was in this area of western West Virginia.
To make a long story short if anyone can help in any it would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
KC
