Hi JenniferOur ferret Raja has also hind legs weakness and she needs helps =
to urinate and clean her stools. The vet thinks it=B4s a spinal problems. S=
he had it once and got better, but now it=B4s taking longer...Her legs were=
totally stiff and since we started a kind of physioterapy she got better. =
It helps a bit to keep the muscle in shape :-) : we put her in warm water a=
nd move her legs and pinch her toes. It=B4s helping a lot. She does not wal=
k yet, but she is already able to pull her legs.Anyway you should talk to y=
our vet about that.Good luck and greetings from Brazil,Paty, Pikku and Raja=
