Thank you again for taking time to reply.
I contacted the vet lab and they confirmed that they do not have access to a test for corona virus. They can however, carry out a histological exam of the dead ferret's intestines to look for signs of viral enteritis. Is this worth pursuing?
I also mentioned about the 400x magnification but have not heard back what method they used to look for the parasites.

[Moderator:
No idea if that exam would be useful or not. Perhaps
someone here will more info will know and these might
have something to help:

Okay, that one lists some features that they should look for
AND had photos which should help.
So might:

but I don't have time check right now]
