Erin,
A suggestion. When medicating or feeding a sick ferret, place him or her in a sleep sack and only have the head out while clasping the sack closed around the neck. Will prevent the ferret hurting you or it hurting itself. Be sure you know the proper technique to force feed a ferret.

[Moderator's Note: *If* a ferret has to be force-fed or syringe fed then the vets here have asked that members be requested to learn safe techniques from their vet or a vet tech the vet asks to teach you. There is a risk of aspiration pneumonia which is extremely serious so it must be done right.]
