I snagged this information, from a Facebook Ferret Group!

You may notice the following symptoms if your ferret has contracted
canine distemper:

* Discharge from eyes - generally foul smelling, yellow or green
* Swelling, rashes and thick brown crusts on the chin, lips, and nose
* Severe lethargy
* High fever
* Loss of appetite
* Drooling
* Dehydration
* Coughing
* Hardened, thick paw pads and swollen feet
* Crusting and redness in the abdominal and anal areas
* Muscular tremors
* Seizures
* Vomiting and diarrhoea may occur, but are less common than in dogs
  with distemper
* Coma

You may only notice a few of these symptoms, as they occur at different
points during the progression of the disease. For example, thickening
of the paw pads tends to happen in the later stages.
