Sorry to hear about your ferret bruising after blood sampling.  Three
things to consider.  Did she have a low platelet count on the bloodwork?
If so then she was not able to form blood clots properly which lead to
the bruising.
 
Does she have any signs of adrenal gland disease?  Some of the ferrets
with adrenal gland disease also bruise easily.  Is she a ferret that
would hold still for a long time?  If she is a "wiggle worm" then she
probably would not hold still while they were trying to get blood which
lead to the bruising.  Has the bruising resolve yet?
 
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
