You need to tear your appartment up and search it from top to bottom.
When I lived in an apartment my ferrets got behind the oven and
somehow got inside the oven, luckily we never used it.They can get
into anything, you really need to leave no stone unturned at all!
I had 2 ferrets somehow get outside the door when I left for work,
luckily my girl bella was found in an upstairs hallway shaking from
anxiety.Figgy scratched at the door thankfully and was let back in by
my wife, after that I never left the house without opening the door
just wide enuff for me to slide through , then checking the gound
around me after I closed the door.
Search your house soon as you see this and if lily is not found after
you check every possible nook and cranny , you need to look outside
till you find her as she could be taking shelter nearby. Dont just
give up , she could be out there waiting for you and in desperate
need of food and water.
