sounds like possible blockage- has this ferret been evaluated for any type
of obstruction?
You really should not treat any animal unless you know what you are
treating it for as many times implemented treatments will mask the problem
or make it worse. You need to ascertain the reason for vomiting- it is NOT
a usual ferret behavior and one that should be monitored closely. What is
the stool looking like? How much food has the ferret been eating?
It takes only about 2 days of inability to consume food for a ferret to
lose ground enough that it could die in my experiences.
