At this point, you've probably already found a vet or someone else to help.
If not, get to your vet as soon as you can. Ferret knowledgeable or not,
emergency vets should be able to assist with animals that are choking, ate
something they shouldn't have, and the so on. Dogs and other animals can
have the same problems and similar actions would be taken for all.
 
I wish you luck!

Kitchen scales come in all sizes.  I know I've seen kitchen scales for less
then $70 and so kitchen supply stores might be the way to go!  Kitchen
scales usually range past 4 lbs too!

Thankfully I have not yet had this pain, but there are a number of others
here who have - perhaps they will respond to you directly.  They will tell
you, probably better then I can, that it wasn't your fault.  It's just
something that happened.  That Key was happy and loved in her life and
wouldn't hold this against you.  I'm sure Key will be happy to see you when
your paths cross again.  ;)
