Try and find a ferret shelter, rescue or breeder in your area to see if they have a V-hob to bring her out she will not come out of heat on her own or find a vet that knows how to fake her out of heat if a vet really knows how to deal with whole ferrets they will know how to do this. Luck to you and her,

Sukie, thanks for the links! they are very good!
Alicia, Sandy, Ulrike and Chris, Thanks for the information !
We call some vets around Zürich and none will make a surgery while she is in heat. They also do not give the hormon injection.
We were told that Bärli will be in around 4 weeks, back to normal and we have to wait...
I hope that's not dangerous for her. So, we have to wait 4 weeks till she is normal and then spay her ...
Thanks all for your care!
Kisses, Paty, Pikku & Bärli
