I really do not know a whole bunch about ferrets but when my ferret was
lethargic and kept falling over he was found to be very dehydrated due to
the fact that he just wasn't feeling too well. Once he was hydrated he
seemed to perk up and his eyes looked brighter. We had to force-feed him
pedialyte along with antibiotics due to a suspected infection. I won't
go into the rest of the story because it may not have anything to do with
what is wrong with your ferret. I also don't know if Nutrical or
FerretVite would be an option either. I know how upsetting it feels when
you see them not feeling well. If it were me, I would probably take him
back to the vet again. I hope everything goes well for you and him.
