Ok, update. He has now started to vomit. I called the vet, and they
said to give him some pepto. I did that, and he projectile vomited
that. They also said to work a q tip in his anus to get him to poo.
After a few tries he did have some loose stool. I was told to try them
both in a few hours. After he had the small amt of liquid stool he
started to drink again. He quit drinking after he started to vomit.
He has an appointment with the vet tomorrow. I have my apt ferret
proof, and watch them when they are out. I dont know what he could of
ate or if its a virus. The female that lives in the same cage is fine,
and hopefully stays that way.
