Well, Sandi, I don't know if this will help or not, but another ferret with
a similar diagnosis and missed "window" is now being helped with acupuncture.
I don't know much about this at all for ferrets so I am only passing this
info along.  You may want to consider this option.  Email me if you are
interested, and I can give you the particulars.
 
good luck
