Even if she doesn't want food or water.. chances are she
hasn't been eating or drinking and ferrets get dehydrated very
quickly.. it's eyedropper chicken baby food and heavy cream
time.. the best case would be to get to the vet.. but until
then get some nutrition and liquid into her.. pedialyte is
good too.. but she'll probably like the heavy cream and
chicken baby food better..

I have a 15 month old spayed/descented female that was
perfectly fine yesterday afternoon when I saw her last.
Now, she's not interested in playing at all, not interested
in food, treats, or water (at least not when I tried could
be she's just not hungry or thirsty but she always takes
treats). She's only interested in ferretone right now of
their stuff. I let her out of her cage to see how she'd do
and she seemed fine, though a little hesitant at first.
Then she just picked a spot on the floor (preferably under
something) and just lied there as flat as she could. She's
also quite shaky as well. She is slightly interested in
being with me (odd since she does nothing but bite me) and
she doesn't seem to be moving around real well (kinda like
me when I have the flu). She's due for her shots as of the
beginning of the month, but I can't take her in until at
least midmonth (that short a time shouldn't matter should
it?). I seperated my male (fixed as well) from her to keep
him from bothering her. He seems just fine though I will
keep an eye on him as well. I just wish I didn't have to
work 7 days a week!!! Please help! I just hope there's
something I can do with the lowest possible vet bills since
we can't afford much right now.
