Dr. Williams' web page says:
"As far as amount =96 I usually start with about one-sixth of a jar every f=
our hours, and then when the ferret is well-acclimated and licking it off y=
our finger, then you can give them as much as they want at a sitting."

I can't say... If he's pooping normally, at least you're not looking at a =
possible GI blockage. The signs are pretty general. I'd say, like your cu=
rrent plan, to get some blood drawn to see what might be happening. =
Glassy eyes always makes me think of insulinoma, but I'm not sure the fever=
fits in there. =
