To Jim Cristea and Cody -
 
        The most common cause of seizure like behavior, as we have said many
times before, is insulimoa, and this can manifest in any number of strange
ways.  The old "adage"  that seizures don't kill animals is a falsehood.  I am
constantly amazed what vets say not to have ferret office calls these days.
 (See Jessica's adrenal problem above for another good one....)
 
        I would suggest a blood glucose test and a careful physical exam of the
throat under anesthesia in this instance....
