I'm new to the group. My name is Jen, I'm 26 and i have 2 female Ferrets, both a little over 3 years old.

One of those said ferrets seems to be having serious problems. Her back end doesn't seem to work with her front end which results in her falling over mostly and not being able to get anywhere. She also acts as if she's gone blind, use to be I'd put my hand down to her and she'd run right over. Now she does nothing. Even if i have my hand right next to her. She's not interested in eating or drinking, I've been trying to do both with a dropper. Should I take my vets advice (she doesn't know much about ferrets) or is there something else i can try at home before I send her home on the Rainbow Bridge?
