This sounds very much like ulcers.  One of the best sites with
information on this is Dr. WIlliams 'Pathology of the Ferret' site.
Here is the URL for information on ulcers and their treatment.
       http://www.afip.org/ferrets/ulcers.html
 
Even if you think your local vets will not know how to treat your ferret,
it is important the you get him in to see a vet.  He may need to have
Sub-Q fluids administered, and will need prescription medication to get
better.  If you think the vets won't know what to do, consider printing
off the information from the above site and showing it to the vet.  Dr.
Williams is a well know and highly respected vet and pathologist.
 
Another site you may want to check and print out is:
       http://miamiferret.org/fhc/helicobacter.htm
 
Again, the above site has information on ulcers from Dr. Williams.
 
Good luck on treating your fuzzy.  I hope he is able to recover from his
illness.
