Any suggestions on things I should look into next? Any idea what might cause front end weakness? She just saw her regular vet on Thursday for an unrelated matter.

Hi LInda,

It is really tough to say or advise w/o further information...

age of ferret?

other problem?

The only ferrets I remember having this type of problem were 4 plus year olds and in the end they had stroke type problems. ( A NY vet did DX as stroke related problems) . Most recovered slowly only to have the problem recurr, finally they were left paralyzed adn had to be assisted across. I woudol investigate cardio or circualtroy problems for one.
