Jennifer,
I am sorry to hear your ferret suffered a serious injury. I am assuming the attending vet took x-rays to confirm this? Did he explain the abdominal swelling? Concern that the same accident may have caused further internal injuries as well.
People do maintain paraplegic ferrets by getting them a wheelchair designed for them. For information on a custom-designed model see: http://www.ferret-universe.com/resources/ferretflyer.asp
Keep us posted on her progress and what your regular vet thinks.
