Thank you! One of the ways that we as professionals learn and get better is
by finding out when we've missed something. I would strongly recommend
returning to the second vet in this case, describe exactly what happened
(which sounds like insulinoma to me, but of course over the computer,
diagnosis is impossible), and get mor information. Bloodwork, certainly, a
minimum of a blood glucose and a CBC, but ideally a full panel. Another
physical, maybe x-rays...
This ferret needs a work-up.
