> How do I know if a ferret has a UTI?

A ferret with UTI will usually try to pee frequently, often
unproductively. It may also pee inappropriately - in unusual spots or
situations. We brought home a little guy with UTI who peed on my shirt
in the store, and tried to go every 10-30 minutes at home.

What you are describing doesn't sound like UTI, but it definitely
sounds like something your vet should look at. Can ferrets get yeast
infections? Perhaps it's something like that.
