  It seems to me that a lot of the symptoms you've described are indicative of
adrenal disease, which is an extremely common problem in ferrets. I think quite
often blood tests won't show anything, and enlarged adrenal glands are hard to
see, even with an ultrasound.  I don't know how far you are from Virginia, but
if you don't have a good ferret vet nearby, Dr. Kawasaki is a specialist in
Virginia.  His phone # is (703) 494-0094.
His address is: Old Bridge Vet Hospital
                3604 Old Bridge Road
                Woodbridge, VA  22192
 
You might read the Ferret Medical FAQ on Adrenal Disease and see what you
think.  Good Luck!
