Firstly, I am not a vet, just a vet student. Just looking at the values
without any case history or physical exam, it appears to me that the
liver values (ALT and ALP) can indicate a liver issue. The creatinine
and BUN values indicate azotemia which can be caused by pre renal,
renal or post renal causes. Dehydration is a common cause for pre renal
azotemia, but from the HCT values, I would GUESS the ferret was
hydrated

Further tests specific for kidney function can be pursued to help rule
out/in causes for the azotemia.

Here is a link that may better explain the values to you. Hope this
helps, like I said I'm not a vet and have no history to really base his
numbers as to what might be the cause. I wish the both of you the best.
