Hi, Michelle,

I agree with everyone who posted so far: blockages can be fatal very
quickly. Find a vet or emergency clinic that's open today and do not
wait at all. If it is a blockage your ferret may not have until a
regular appointment sometime Monday.

A healthy ferret will always be warm to the touch since their normal
body temp is several degrees warmer than ours. Ferrets can have fevers,
and that is another reason to go to the vet. Do NOT use any human fever
reducing medication on your own.

Good luck with your little guy.

All the best,
Caity and the non-stop nine
