I am assuming that you are referring to dilative cardiomyopathy which is the more common form of cardiomyopathy found in ferrets sicne that fits the symptoms.
Gail, there is a lot on dilative cardiomyopathy whihc can easily be found by searching for the word CARDIOMYOPATHY in the Complete FHL Archives which are at
http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org.
You will find a compilation in the Files section at
http://www.smartgroups.com/vault/ferrethealth/cardiomyopathy.txt
which will also help and will aid you in finding other resources.
Your next step is a heart ultrasound for your little one. Meanwhile, share the past posts and other information with your vet and review the additional meds mentioned with your vet.
