Hi Trish,
 
This sounds very much like it could be insulinoma.  Here is an article
that describes symptoms, causes and treatment:
 
http://miamiferret.org/fhc/insulinoma.htm
 
Red paw pads aren't mentioned there, but people have occasionally
mentioned observing that symptom in conjunction with insulinoma.  She
should be seen by a vet as soon as possible and her blood glucose should
be checked to determine if insulinoma is the culprit here.  Good luck!
