Twice I saw a ferret so scared that it screamed for about 2 minutes,
at first thought was a seizure too, but was really very frightened and
just panicked- the screaming sounded like a bird cry, the whole
vet office came to see and the other vet thought for sure a bird was
being seen.
It is hard to guess, without seeing the ferret. The vet may be right
though.
There is also something called "screaming seizures" because the ferret
will
cry during the seizure. usually a seizure the animal is not aware of the
surroundings,
jerking movements , or body stiff or limp, eyes may be unfocused or
rolled upwards,
loss of urine or stool - nothing is going to be all the same for every
ferret.
The afterwards the ferret is dazed and slow to recover.
