Go to just baby food ro a/d.
Call vet back and let her know he's worse; ask for CBC, blood
glucose measurement, x-rays for starters. I know that in some
nations ferrets are seen as "throw-aways" so it might pay to get
across that you are serious about the desire, need, and meeting
the costs incurred.
