Have you had an xray or ultrasound on Key Largo's heart/chest? I would definately recommend one asap.

I have a young adult ferret (about one year of age) who has become extremely
lethargic and weak. It's not where he sleeps a lot, he sleeps all the time and
when we pick him up and put him on his feet he collapses in that spot, he
also drags himself to go to the potty and some times after he goes he just
lays
there in it. When he was younger he also used to cough alot and now when you put your
ear to his nose you can hear him wheeze a little bit. He also whimpers in the middle of the
night and first in the morning when you pick him up.Me and my vet at first suspected him
to be IBS/IBD previous and
thought it could be true this time. We put him on the regular treatments
(amoxy. pepto bismol, A/D food, rebound) but he didn't get better and the
lethargy worsened. Now he is also on Prednisone but he is still extremely
lethargic. My vet did an extensive blood panel testing all his organs, white
and red blood counts, everything and everything came back normal. It has
been a day or two and Key Largo hasn't responded at all to anything, he eats
and drinks perfectly fine when we offer it to him and has bowel movements
frequently (stool is the mucus bird-seed like associated with IBS) Key Largo
is also deaf, if that has to do with anything. I want to know what you think of
all of this.
