In a 3 year old male ferret, adrenal gland disease causing an enlargement
of the prostate which is causing the difficulty in urination should be
considered.  If no bladder stone(s) show up on the x-ray, then ultrasound
the prostate and adrenal glands or if other signs of adrenal gland
disease are present (itchy skin, hair loss, increase musky odor, return
of sexual behavior, etc) then it is time for surgery to remove the
adrenal gland(s) or medical treatment with Lupron, Propecia, and
melatonin to reduce the size of the prostate.
 
Hope that helps,
