Your ferret is IN or GOING INTO an Addisonian Crisis. Get him to the
vet NOW!!! If you wait until tomorrow the odds are you will not have a
ferret to take to the vet.

I didn't wait when Pertwee went into a full blown Addisonian Crisis and
the vet still wasn't sure he would make it through the night.
Thankfully, he did.
