Hi Trish,
This sounds very much like it could be insulinoma. Here is an article
that describes symptoms, causes and treatment:
http://miamiferret.org/fhc/insulinoma.htm
Red paw pads aren't mentioned there, but people have occasionally
mentioned observing that symptom in conjunction with insulinoma. She
should be seen by a vet as soon as possible and her blood glucose should
be checked to determine if insulinoma is the culprit here. Good luck!
