I don't want to jump into a panic here... but my male ferret did the same thing three weeks ago. He was so blocked that he was in pain, and had to spend the weekend at the emergency vet. They cathaterized him and kept him stable until he could have surgery on that Monday. SO.....I would get him to the vet immediately. I didn't realise that his blockage was so bad....and felt really guilty that I missed the signs. I would also like to save you the $800 it cost me at the emergency vet! And then another $800 for his surgery and post care. But hey, it's just money and I love my animals like crazy! Good luck, and please keep up us posted.
Sincerely,
