Difficulty with urination can be a sign of adrenal in ferrets, especially
male ferrets.  This was the only sign my ferret Cully gave of his adrenal
disease--no hair loss, no noticably increased aggressiveness (he was
always aggressive, so it would have been hard to tell anyway).  I would
place adrenal disease high on the list of possible problems--and it's
good you're getting him to the vet right away, because as I'm sure you
can imagine difficulty with urination can become life-threatening.
 
good luck,

Is that my business?  Well, what is my business?  Do I know?  Did I ever
know?  Let s not go into that.  You re not human tonight, Marlowe.  Maybe
I never was or ever will be... Maybe we all get like this in the cold
half-lit world where always the wrong thing happens and never the right.
