By now you will hopefully have already had an emergency
appointment with a ferret vet since that is the truly
logical and needed thing to do. (There is no substitute
for veterinary care and never could be.)
Let us know what the blood test (CBC WITH Chemistry
Panel, please), urine test, and fecal test, imaging, and
exam results look like.
Hind end weakness is a common thing to happen with
ferrets with a very wide range of serious illnesses as well
as with injury.
More details, please, to such questions as:
age,
history,
have you added any ferrets lately,
have they or you been around any potentially ill ferrets,
have they been tested for ADV,
what do you feed (I think that bladder stones have to be
among the things considered here, and if there are any be
sure to have the uroliths tested to see what type they are
because the needed approaches for the two most often seen
types (struvite and cystine) are opposite from each other,
and check the urine pH, too, to help know what is happening
on that score.)
etc.?
