Hi, Becca,

Harley is seriously ill and could die. Nobody here can diagnose him.
Only a ferret vet can do that. If you can't afford a ferret vet then
you need to surrender this ferret to a shelter or rescue that can care
for him. Doing anything else is cruel.

Some vets will allow you to make payments. Maybe you can work
something out. A basic vet visit can be anywhere from $25-$100
depending on where you live.

Do NOT give a ferret sugar. You need to be feeding high quality
ferret food (available at any decent pet store) and not cat food. You
need to find a way to afford vet care now and in the future. If you
can't do those things you shouldn't have ferrets. I know that sounds
harsh but when you take in a pet you are responsible for their life.

Nothing that any of us can offer will replace a vet visit. Nothing at all.

I know this isn't what you want to read but it is the truth.

Regards,
Caitlyn and the terrific trio
