I've heard once from a vet in Brazil that you should not give vitamin C to a
ferret without making an urine test because it can make it acid and cause
bladder stones problems. Does it proceed?

The urine of carnivores should be acidic. So, no, I would not agree with
that assessment. Vitamin C should be just fine.
