Please take him to the Vet again.  He could have adrenal (3 yrs old is
common) Adrenal in Male ferrets can cause his prostate to swell and block
off his Urethra which makes it hard for him to Pee if he can at all.  My
old Ferret Woobie was acting just like that.  I went away over night and
came home the nexrt day.  Took Woobie out of the cage and he just kept
squatting, and squatting and in and out and in and out of the litter box
and nothing was coming out.  So I said we better get him to the vet.  I got
him there and thats what was wrong with him.  If I waited any longer his
bladder would have burst and he would have died.  They catheterrized him
and Drained his bladder and did the Adrenal Surgery.  Please dont put off
another examination.  It can save his life!!
