Take her to a vet NOW. Crushing injuries are very very serious. The
crunching you heard might have been a rib or two breaking. The fact
that she is "off" still means the injury was severe. She could be
bleeding internally, and in terrible pain. You will not know about
the pain until the very end, as ferrets maintain an amazing stoicism.
This is an emergency situation.
