What's wrong is that your ferret is sick and needs immediate medical
attention now.  Waiting until Thursday could very well mean the difference
between life or death for your ferret.
 
People, the FML is a great source of medical information that can and should
be used in conjunction with your vet's care.  But, it should *never* be used
as a diagnostic tool.  A cyber diagnosis should never be used to replace a
hands on examination by a qualified vet.  Please go to the vet first and
post health questions second.  Seeking a cyber diagnosis before seeing a
vet is just irresponsible.
