You should have had him to his vet the day you got him or the day after.
Take a poop with you for a fecal exam.  Marshall gives their ferrets 1
distemper shot.  They need another at about 9 weeks and a third at 13
weeks.  At 14 or 15 weeks they need a rabies shot.  I'm guessing you
don't have or haven't read "Ferrets For Dummies".  It's a great book
and has this info in it.
