This could be a few things. One, I would say get him to a vet right
away tomorrow, and get his blood sugar checked. It could be
insulinoma. But also I have had this happen to mine with lymphoma. If
it were my little guy I would ask them to look for both and go from there.
Some questions the vet will like answered are likely: has he been
drinking water, if so how much, how much is he eating (I assume you
are trying to force feed?) and how often...the same with urination and
defecation.
Good luck!!!

nothing. I have a male ferret age unknown and up until 2 days ago he
seemed perfectly healthy. Then last evening he appeared lethargic and
unable to walk normally it was as if his hind legs were not holding
him up. I was able to give him some ferretone and he drank a little
water and ate some duck soup and seemed to just want to sleep. He woke
up and walked normally to the litter box and went. His stool was very
dark green and then he went again about a half hour or so later and
that one was really all water. Today he still seemed weak in the legs,
lethargic, and uninterested in eating anything. He seemed to try to go
to the bathroom but had no luck. I have no idea what the problem is.
Any thoughts.
