weak
An 8 year old that is stumbling with hind end weakness
immediately brings to mind insulinoma. Has a fasting blood
sugar been done? In the meantime try putting some tube icing
(another thing I always have on hand for sick ferrets), some
karo syrup or honey in the ferrets mouth and see if this helps
reverse the symptoms. Is he staring "glassy eyed"?
I'm not sure why these symptoms would suggest ulcers to your
vet, are they very ferret knowledgable?
I am not a vet but these sound like classic insulinoma
symptoms. Good luck.
