Difficulty with urination can be a sign of adrenal in ferrets, especially
male ferrets. This was the only sign my ferret Cully gave of his adrenal
disease--no hair loss, no noticably increased aggressiveness (he was
always aggressive, so it would have been hard to tell anyway). I would
place adrenal disease high on the list of possible problems--and it's
good you're getting him to the vet right away, because as I'm sure you
can imagine difficulty with urination can become life-threatening.
good luck,
Regina

Is that my business? Well, what is my business? Do I know? Did I ever
know? Let s not go into that. You re not human tonight, Marlowe. Maybe
I never was or ever will be... Maybe we all get like this in the cold
half-lit world where always the wrong thing happens and never the right.
